Worthy of the Name

A friend and I were talking the other night about one of our favorite professors who happens to have his doctorate. She remarked how his intimate knowledge of his subject and his awe-inspiring character make him "worthy" of the title of Dr. I began to think and realized that in that same way, our God is "worthy" of his name. I also have a close relation (I am related) to this professor and occasionally call him by his first name. Why? Because I know him. Again in the same manner, I have a close relationship to my God and can fellowship intimately with Him. What an awesome thought. Such a worthy God and yet I can call him "Father." Our God is truly worthy of our praise. Revelation 4:11 says, "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Truly, worthy is the Lamb!
