You Are Known by Name | Battle Drill Devotional with Rob Westwood-Payne

Do you sometimes feel invisible, forgotten, or just another face in the crowd in our increasingly anonymous digital world?

#BattleDrillDaily #YouMatter #KnownByGod #Faith

Today's Battle Drill Daily Devotional reveals something that might change everything about how you see yourself. Through The Salvation Army's powerful #150reasons campaign that collected transformation stories from Australia to Bangladesh, we discover a profound truth: the Creator of the universe knows each of us personally and intimately.

Exploring Isaiah 45:3, we examine what it means to be called by name by God himself. As a Salvation Army church leader, I've learned that calling someone by their name is deeply personal - it says "I see you, I value you, you matter to me." That's precisely what God does with each of us, but here's what makes this extraordinary: there's a fundamental difference between knowing someone's name and calling them by name with intention and affection.

This episode challenges the world's constant evaluation of our worth based on performance and achievements, revealing how God's knowledge of our names provides an unshakeable foundation for identity. Even Cyrus, a pagan king, was called by name for divine purposes - how much more intimately does God know those who belong to him?

Scripture: "I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness - secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name" (Isaiah 45:3 NLT).

Call to Action: Say your name out loud right now, then declare "I am known by God" - let this transformational truth change how you walk through your day.
