The name of Jesus is above every
other name and there is no one like Him (Jeremiah 10:6; Philippians 2:9-11;
Jeremiah 10:6). His Truth entails secrets that were hidden in times past; but
are now plain for us to see (1 Corinthians 2:7).
He willingly sacrificed His life
as a ransom for all of our sins, and for this we love, praise, honor, worship
and adore Him all the days of our life.
We wait patiently for the Lord,
enjoying His frequent times of companionable silence. He lifts us out of the
miry pit of circumstances and sets our feet on firm, high places (Psalm
40:1-2).
We give Him praise with the new
songs that He puts into our heart; and we extol and honor His name above every
other name given both on earth and in Heaven (Psalm 40:3).
Signs and wonders, healing and
deliverance are ours only by His holy name (Acts 4:30; Mark 16:17). If we
repent and are baptized in His name, He forgives us of our sins and we will
receive His Spirit as our Comforter and Guide (Acts 2:38).
Our faith in His name gives us
healing and strength (Acts 3:12-16). If we ask for anything that we need to
accomplish His work in and through our life, Jesus asks the Father for it on
our behalf (John 14:14, 16:26).
The name of Jesus is a strong
tower, and the righteous find safety and provision in it (Proverbs 18:10). We
receive healing in His wonderful name (Acts 3:6).
We are justified in the name of
Jesus and by the workings of His Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:11). The members of
the Trinity are our wonderful counselor, our everlasting Father, our Prince of
peace, and our might God (Isaiah 9:6).
Prayer:
Father God, You call us all to
come to You for our daily bread, for safety from temptation, to deliver us from
evil, and to forgive us of our iniquities as we forgive those who intrude upon
our life. Your Word holds mysteries that we can understand only by the wisdom
of Your Holy Spirit within us.
Help us to respond to You with
humility, and to praise You for meeting our needs, according to Your abundant
love and wisdom. Stir up in us a hunger for Your Word, for more intimacy with
You, and for walking in Your ways. All day long we meditate on Your glory and
splendor, and we spend our days worshipping You in the beauty of Your holiness
(Psalm 96:9).
Thought for the Day:
There is eternal salvation only
through the name of Jesus, and we extol the Lord as our King; therefore, we
bless His name forever and ever, we bless Him with our actions, and we praise
Him with our lips for His greatness and unsearchable wisdom, which He shares
with us every day of our life.
- Acts 4:12; Psalm 145:1-3
