The name Floyd means
‘gray’. Grayness is a symbol of wisdom. This is the ability to discern
inner qualities and relationships, to have insight, good sense, head
knowledge and judgment. Floyd may have these qualities to some degree in his
natural being. But once he has given his heart over to be governed by the
Lord Jesus Christ and led by His Holy Spirit the Lord will cause him to
operate in and to be known for his wisdom.
Even those who don't
know that he is a Christian will seek him out for counsel and advice. Floyd
may be a very quiet and withdrawn person or be very loud and outspoken. It
makes no difference how he appears to others, more importantly is how he
acts. When it comes to making firm, sound and really serious decisions,
Floyd is the one on which to call. He may flounder around and try to make
light of a situation, but when it gets down to the wire, he will come
through.
Because Floyd knows how
serious some decisions are, he has to seek God’s face and make sure what
he is ‘seeing’ is truly of God. . Without faith it is impossible to
please God. It is faith in his God that causes Floyd to seek His Face for
His wisdom for his life. This is what makes him so dear to God’s heart
Pro 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing;
therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
