Faith in Jesus' name will strengthen us; and the
faith which comes through Him, often gives us perfect health through Him; so
that Jesus may be magnified (Acts 3:16, 4:10, 4:30, 19:17 James 5:14).
God justly remembers the work and love we show in
His name as we minister to one another (Hebrews 6:10). We give thanks and
praise to His name, and exalt His name as He delivers us (1 Chronicles 16:35;
Nehemiah 9:5).
We praise His name as we assemble, and to the ends
of the earth, and as we pay our vows forever and ever (Psalm 22:22, 30:4,
38:10; 61:8). Even the oppressed and needy praise and give thanks to His great,
lovely, and awesome name (Psalm 74:21, 99:3, 106:47, 135:3).
His is the only name, which we exalt and worship (Psalm
148:13). We praise His name with dancing and with instruments because of all
the good things He does for us (Psalm 149:3; Jeremiah 33:9; Joel 2:26). The fruit
of our lips continually gives thanks to and boasts in His name (Hebrews 13:15;
Psalm 44:8).
God releases our soul from its prison here on earth,
so that we may give thanks to His name (Psalm 142:7). Therefore, we exalt His
name forever for His wonderful works, and His perfect plans, which He
faithfully fulfills (Isaiah 12:4, 25:1).
Even in trials and persecution, we praise the name
of the Lord (Ephesians 5:20; Psalm 74:21). Whatever we do in word and deed, we
do it all in His name and for the glory of His name (Colossians 3:17).
Prayer:
Father God, all the earth will one day worship You
with the glory, which is due to Your name (Psalm 66:4). There is no god like
You, and we eagerly await the revelation of Your appearing, because You are the
desire of our soul (Exodus 34:14; Isaiah 26:8). We love and take refuge in Your
name and sing for joy because of Your shelter throughout our life (Psalm 5:11).
We cling to You and hold fast to Your promises and
ways as we enjoy Your deliverance (Deuteronomy 10:20; Psalm 5:11, 9:10). Thank
You for securely setting us high upon the Rock of Christ, because we experience
the magnitude of Your name (Psalm 91:14).
Thought for the Day:
Due to God's marvelous works, let us continually
offer words of praise, even if it is a sacrifice for our soul to use our last
ounce of strength to do it. - Hebrews 13:15
