What Does Nehemiah 9:7 Mean?
From creation the prayer moves to covenant. God singled out Abram, called him away from his homeland in Ur, and renamed him Abraham, 'father of many,' sealing a promise upon his life.
God's grace works by calling. He reaches into one life and draws it toward Himself, often asking it to leave the familiar behind. The new name marks a new destiny; the man Abraham becomes the channel of blessing for the world. So God still calls, still renames, still sets ordinary people on the path of His purposes.
