Whether it's read in order, by topic, or devotionally over 30 days, readers learn to make better decisions in their daily lives; respond more courageously to trials and adverse circumstances; and trust God rather than people, money, and possessions.

What is in a name? Does your name have a meaning? Can you pronounce your name in different ways? Why is it important that we know the name of our God? As I have traveled all across America, I visit with people who have various needs in life. Quite frankly, when someone shares a need with me, I find myself quickly responding with..."No sweat, God can handle it!" In truth - I have absolutely no problem trusting God... in someone else's life. My problem is when I have a need and I must trust God to come through when I'm at my point of desperation. Ever been there? I'm sure you have. One day, as I was reading Psalm 9:10 - like a bolt of lightning - I said, "That's it! That's the reason why so many of God's people (including myself) have so much trouble in really trusting God is because they really don't know Who this God really is." The Bible says in this verse, "And they that know thy name shall put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." As I began to research the names of God...I began to see the ways that He has revealed Himself, not just as God, but by names that are very personal and practical for His children to experience victory in everyday living as they trust in Him. So what's in a name? When it relates to God... everything! It is my prayer that this book will introduce you to the nature and character of our God in heaven who loves us with an everlasting love. I believe that you will discover that He is not just God in heaven, but a very compassionate and caring heavenly Father who desires to meet every need that you will ever have if you will learn about the God in whom you trust. Believe me...it will make life a lot easier when you know the One who sits on the throne and controls the whole world ...including your world as well.

Pastor and Grammy-winning musician Smokie Norful inspires readers to go to God and experience more fulfillment, delight, power, and success than they ever dreamed. According to Smokie Norful, sometimes our lives feel like a pot of rice in his grandmother’s kitchen: hissing, boiling over, about to explode and create panic. The only way to avoid an explosion is to take the lid off—that is, to stop being trapped inside ourselves and instead look to God and his grace to make us all he intends us to be. Taking the lid off, Norful argues, entails four actions: look inward, experiencing the cleansing of forgiveness and the power of the Holy Spirit; look outward, seeking for others to experience the joy of living for God and have the best God has to offer; look upward and marvel at God’s love and strength to accomplish his purposes; and move onward, devising a strategy to accomplish all God has put in our hearts to do. When we take these four steps, the pressure goes down, we gain peace and perception, and things work out much better in the end. When we finally take the lid off, we can become the people God has created us to be and do what we were intended to do. We get in touch with the unlimited power of his Spirit, we’re directed by the challenge of his purposes, and we experience the joy of seeing him use us to change lives. All of us need help in taking the lid off in order to trust God, take action, and reach our full potential.
