TheNameThing: Madeline
Madeline your name comes from the city Magdala, a village by the sea. Tradition holds that Mary Magdalene is a great example of how no person is beyond the saving grace of Jesus. Magdala means tower, elevated, great, magnificent. The Lord is your strong tower. The Lord is your refuge in times of trouble, a strong tower against the enemy. The Lord is a fortified tower and because you walk in right ways, you know to run to it, and you are safe. As the self proclaimed towers fall in people's lives around you and they run to the Lord, streams of living water will flow on their high mountains and lofty hills, and the Lord will bind up their fractures and heal their bruises. Because you seek the Lord, rejoice in his power, are glad in him, and long for his saving help, you will always say:
The Lord is Great!
He is most worthy of praise!
He is mightier than the thunder of the great waters;
mightier than the breakers of the great seas!
The Great King is
above all gods and to be feared above all gods
He is exalted above all!
For great is his love towards you and the Lords faithfulness will endure towards you forever. You understand, Great is your Lord, he is most worthy of praise, and his greatness no one can fathom. Jesus in you accepting his great love, grace, mercy, and healing. Others will run to our Great God as they watch his protection over you, as you live and move and have your being in our Great God.
The meaning of your name is part of your life story and how God wants to shine through you (Phil 2:15) Your name glorifying His name, Jesus in YOU the hope of glory.
Whatever your name means can be used against you. We have an enemy who comes to kill, steal, and destroy. God named you, and the enemy knows your name, do you?
