THE NAME OF THE LORD
The Name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10
The Name of Jesus is full of power and the safest place for us. We can find refuge in our Lord’s Name, when we proclaim it in faith. In Exodus 34:6b the Lord had told to Moses about His attributes which show the meaning of His Name “‘the Lord God, (is) merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth.’” We can truly count on God’s mercy, love, goodness and on the truth that He will never leave or forsake us, but will always take care of us and change every bad situation into something good for us.
As long as we live in obedience to the Lord, we are safely in His tower that is set on high, far above evil. What is really important to us? Are we truly sold out to God? Do we care more about pleasing Him or following the lusts of our carnal nature? If we care more about fulfilling God’s will, the devil cannot do much against us, as our hearts are set on the things of heaven and not of the earth and we are secure in our Lord.
When prayer becomes essential to us and we pray for all we do or need, replacing our worries and vain thoughts with prayers, thanksgiving and praises to our Lord, we position ourselves under the power of Jesus’ Name, always being armed and ready to fight the good fight of faith.
SUGGESTED PRAYER
Thank You Lord for making the power of Your Name available to me. You are Almighty and there is nothing impossible for You. No matter what I am going through, I can call on Your Name and run into the safety of Your presence. You are my rock and my shelter, I can always count on Your love, kindness, mercy and grace. By trusting You and proclaiming Your Name, I can rise above all trouble or danger that comes my way. There is no safer place than in Your arms heavenly Father and no one can love me more than You do. Glory and honor to Your holy Name for ever and ever. Amen
