Heavenly Father, help me to keep breathing the Name of Jesus. Help me to keep proclaiming the Name of Jesus. May the Name of Jesus forever be on my lips. The Name of Jesus is more than just a name! The Bible tells us: "The Name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe"
Thank You, Father, that I am safe, not because of anything I have done, but because I have called on, and trust in, the Name and person of Jesus. As Scripture says, 'Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.' For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile - the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him, for, 'Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved'"
As each day passes, I realise more and more how much I owe to Him. The depth of my sin, and the depth of His love, cannot be measured: "Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every name, and every tongue acknowledges that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father"
This is why Simon Peter quoted King David, that Jesus is " ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other Name under Heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved"
So, as King David ended his Psalm, I end my prayer: "Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord. From the house of the Lord we bless You. The Lord is God, and He has made His Light shine on us... Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever." Gig & JiL, God is good and Jesus is Lord. All praise to His Name
Amen

Heavenly Father, King David asked some very interesting questions: "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your presence?" He then lists a number of places where he might try: "the heavens... the depths... the wings of the dawn... the far side of the sea..." but You are always there. He even thinks: "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” but then reminds himself: "Even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as Light to You"
No matter what we think, no matter where we go, You are always there. I might ask myself "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" I suppose this depends on how I think of You? If I think of You waiting to pounce on me every time I break the Law, like some sort of cosmic policeman, then surely it is a bad thing, and that's why I look to escape. But I don't believe You are like that at all. To see what You are really like I must look to Jesus
Lord Jesus, when I look to You, I don’t see a policeman, I see a Friend, an Advocate, someone who loves me and walks alongside me. Someone who defends me and is on my side. Someone who never wants me to feel alone or be alone. Someone who would rather die than see me suffer for my sins. So, I don’t want to escape; rather I want to run into Your arms, where I am safe and loved forever. I love You, Lord, because You first loved me. Thank You
Amen
