Jesus instructed His disciples, when they prayed, to say, “Hallowed be Thy name.”  God would not let Moses into the promised land because he did not “Sanctify the Lord’s name.”  At the waters of Meribah, he struck the rock instead of speaking to it for water to come out. To hallow the Lord’s name means to sanctify His name.  If Moses would have only spoken to the rock, God would have caused water to come out.  For us to hallow His name, we merely need to remove the “h” of hallow (the “h” for human) and simply “allow” God to do it.

When we allow Him to do it, He gets the glory.

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, we want to sanctify Your name today.  Show Your power through us.

DAILY READING:  Matt. 6

All the compaound names of God in the Old Testament described what He would do or be to His peole.  We hallow His name when we “allow” Him to do it, through prayerfully asking Him.
