Day 265 - Psalms Wednesday (chapters 111-113)
“Blessed is the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore.” (Ps 113:2 ESV)
Names of famous people are remembered for a long time. Abraham Lincoln, Bob Hope, Ty Cobb, Amelia Earhart and Albert Einstein are a few of the multitude of famous people. Mention one of the names, and that persons life comes to mind. However, there is one name that is above all other names.
“And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 ESV)
The name of Jesus means everything to us.
● He paid for our sins and secured our eternal salvation by means of His death on the cross.
● He is with you now, watching over you and guiding you.
● He guarantees you an eternal future with Him in heaven.
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes our sorrow, heals our wounds,
And drives away our fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
’Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary rest.
O Jesus, shepherd, guardian, friend, My Prophet, Priest, and King;
My Lord, my life, my way, my end, Accept the praise I bring. Amen.
