What's In A Name?

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,  to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

Our name is very important. When my husband and I had  our sons we named them specifically for what their names meant. Matthew means 'gift of God' and Jonathan means 'God has given'. Many people today name babies cute popular names or after a famous person. Your name is special. None of us wants to shame our family last name by doing something bad. Your name is with you for life unless you are undercover law enforcement or in the witness protection program. Often times a giving a person's name gives you certain benefits and privileges. Maybe a name is "dropped" to impress those you are with. In the long run those names may stay with a person but future generations may not have a clue of who the person was.

The only name that  matters is the name of Jesus. There's power in that name. No other name can do what the name of Jesus does. Heal, deliver, set free, save. His name is wonderful!

PRAYER: Your name is above every name. I lift your name on high and love to sing your praises. I love you Jesus. In Jesus' name. Amen.

HOME RUN FOR JESUS

 

With the recent April and May release of the awesome movie "Home Run" I was thinking of how in baseball it is so exciting when someone hits a home run. Out of the park it flies. The crowds go wild with excitement as they cheer their favorite team on. I have lived in three big baseball cities those being Cincinnati, St Louis, and Phoenix. I had the pleasure to go to several games and it is quite fun and thrilling.

Living for Jesus we are working to hit a "home run" too. Our "home run" is living for the Lord and going to heaven is the ultimate "home run". Our "Home Run" is conquering struggles in our life through the power of Jesus.

Are you presently living for Jesus and trying to grow closer to Him or is He only a passing thought in your day? Does your day start with prayer and Bible reading? Are you in a growing dynamic church that brings you closer to the Lord or is Sunday "your day" for relaxation? Do you just go to church because you "have to"? Are you doing those things in life to help you hit a "home run" for Jesus? Are you trying to fight battles on your own power?

2 Timothy 2:15(NASB) says 'Be diligent to present yourself to God, as one approved, a workmen who need not be ashamed, and who correctly handles the word of truth.' Study God's word. Know that He can rescue and set you free from whatever it is in life that has you stuck in a rut. He loves you more than anything.

PRAYER: Come into my heart today Lord Jesus. I am tired of fighting battles alone and living a defeated life. I know with your power inside of me I can stand strong against anything the enemy throws my way. I choose to hit a "home run" for you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
