Have you ever struggled with choosing a name? Maybe
you were naming your first child, a new pet or a term paper. When coming up
with a name it can be challenging to choose just one.
This is how I felt this past week trying to decide on
a domain name for this blog. One thing I found helpful is that almost all the
domain names I chose were already taken. I guess that’s why some call it the
World Wide Web.
I chose IAM419.com because it reminds me of God’s
calling in my life. IAM are my initials and 419 is a reference to Isaiah 41:9
which says, “I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I
called you. I said, ‘You are my servant; I have chosen you and have not
rejected you.’”
God chose Israel through Abraham because he wanted to,
not because the people deserved it. Although God chose the Israelites to
represent him to the world, they failed to do this; so God punished them and
sent them into captivity.
Now all believers are God’s chosen people, and all
share the responsibility of representing him to the world. One day God will
bring his faithful people together. We don’t need to fear because the bible
says God is with us (“I am with you”) and that God has established a
relationship with us (“I am your God”). God gives us assurance of his strength,
help and victory over sin and death.
Daily I am realizing more just how much God has helped
me. I wanted to give some context to why this domain name was chosen. I hope
that you will consider sending me financially and follow as I go.
