“And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You” (Psalm 9:10, NKJV). Knowing God’s name here means more than recognition, it means genuine familiarity with His character.
Trust follows knowledge in this verse, not the other way around. The more genuinely we know who God actually is, the more naturally trust tends to follow.
The reason given is a track record: He has not forsaken those who seek Him. Not a blind leap, but a trust grounded in observed faithfulness.
How well do you actually know God’s name, His character as demonstrated over time, versus a vague or secondhand impression of who He is?
