Name!

Psalms 75:1
WE GIVE praise and thanks to You, O God, we praise and give thanks; Your wondrous works declare that Your [a]Name is near and they who invoke Your Name rehearse Your wonders.
Deuteronomy 12:5
But you shall seek the place which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put His [a]Name and make His dwelling place, and there shall you come;
Footnotes:
Deuteronomy 12:5 The "Name" of God is equivalent to His gracious presence in passages such as this one. The place where God puts His Name is the place where the Lord Himself chooses to dwell. When it stands for God's presence at the sanctuary, "Name" is capitalized.
I have often wondered why sometimes Name is capitalized in the Bible. Now I know. I just thought I would share this with you.
God is so wonderful. I can't begin to express how Awesome He is. It's like wanting to paint a picture of something beautiful, even though an artist does their very best, it not quite as good as God's original.
Have a blessed day!
