HALLOWED BE THY NAME
Around the Year with Emmet Fox
February 6
If we trace the derivation of the word hallowed
we will discover a most extraordinarily significant fact.
The word hallowed has the same root as holy,
whole, wholesome, and heal, or healed;
so, we see that the nature of God is complete and perfect—
altogether good.
Some very remarkable consequences follow from this fact.
We have agreed that an effect must be
similar in its nature to its cause, and so,
because the nature of God is hallowed,
everything that is projected by that Cause
must be hallowed or perfect too.
God cannot cause or send anything but perfect good.
God cannot, as people sometimes think,
send sickness or trouble, or accidents—much less death—
for these things are unlike His nature.
“Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil,
and canst not look on iniquity. . .”
Habakkuk 1:13
