The Name

Psalm 20.7

Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses, but we take pride in the name of the Lord our God.

I love to worship the Lord. One of my favorite acts of worship is simply mediating on the various names God has given to us. His name represents all the various aspects of his personality and character. Consider today in your time of worship the fact that our God desires that you know his personality and character. He wants to be more to you than a fact he delights in being a friend. He is your personal God.

Take pride in the fact that you know him and worship him in the splendor of his holiness. Allow your spirit to connect with his in holy pursuit as you think upon his mighty names. Lift up a shout! Shed a tear! Lift up holy hands in worship.

He is the eternal one – the ancient of days – everlasting! He is the most high – provider – healer – restorer of everything broken and shattered! He is mighty – powerful – all knowing! He is holy – perfect – peace! He is righteousness – our banner – the host!

He is the one that is fairer than day – the one that is altogether lovely! He is the lily of the valley! He is the bright and morning star! He is the rock in the wilderness and the ram caught in the thicket! He is the eternal Lamb of God – the prince of peace – the Lion of the tribe of Judah!
He is the crucified one – bruised for my transgressions – rejected, despised, bruised! He is the one once dead risen again! He is the living God!

He’s the returning one to gather his saints to glory!

Till then Jesus is an ever present help in times of trouble – and the lover of our soul – the friend that will stick closer to you than a brother!

Hallelujah what a savior!
