I have discovered a lot about myself on this race around the
world, and I’ve also learned a lot about who God is and who He wants me to be,
but who am I? Well let’s start at the beginning as I’m not exactly sure myself.
I was born David Seth Nobles. Now I focus on the name because I believe God
gave me this name for a reason and He now wants me to know why. Nobles is a
family name given to me by my father of course, which in itself carries weight
just by its nature and what I have inherited from it through my forefathers. It
also has regality to it as I am one of the Nobles. I have been called to a life
of nobility. You say it’s just a family name. Why try and take it so deep? Whether
or not the name Nobles actually refers to royalty is not the matter of debate,
I am called to nobility and royalty whether I have that name or not, but lucky
for me God has given it to me as a reminder. I am a believer in Christ who is
the King of kings and Lord of lords, and as a believer I am called a child of
the living God. If my Father is a king then I am most certainly a Prince, and
yet I don’t act the role. I still live very much like a feeble serf, unable to
except my role as a Prince in the Kingdom of God. That is what this month is
about for me. God is revealing to me what my position is and how I should act.
Not just believe, but act. I am not called to believe in a life honoring to the
Lord, but to act in faith according to God’s will. So let’s move on to Seth.
Seth was the third born of Adam and Eve. After Cain had slain
Abel and been banished into the wilderness, Seth was born. You can say he was a
sort of redemptive son, a hope for Adam. I feel like this is what God wants me to
see from this name. That I have been redeemed and have hope in the salvation my
Father has given me through His Son. I have hope in the future of what the Lord
will use me for and how I get to rely on Him. I am not bound by this world, but
rest my hope in the life to come. The blood that speaks on my behalf speaks
sweeter than the blood of Abel, and my Father hears me. So now I move on to
David.
This is where I begin to be confused. I am unfamiliar with
the name David. It’s not so simple to break down. David means beloved, but it
means so much more than that. The name David is obviously connected to the King
David of the Old Testament, and this is where I take my name, but I don’t know
who David really was. I will be spending the rest of this month pouring over
and over again through the life of David to uncover who God has called me to
be, and to begin to walk in the royalty my Father has called me to. I will
continue this blog as a series as I uncover more on what God is revealing to
me. Please pray for me to have an open heart to receive instruction, rebuke,
and change. I want to know who I am so I can be useful to my King beyond what I
can do of my own strength because that is feeble and a waste of my time and
more importantly His. Thank you for your prayers. I love you guys.
