NO GREATER NAME

Philippians 2:9-11

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, NIV

Sometimes less is more. Today's scripture may be few in words, but the words used hold more than all the word mankind has ever uttered or even thought of! There truly is no MORE: no greater name than the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which a sin-sick soul is healed. There is no other name by which we can be saved! The name of Jesus... there is no other name that evokes such authority yet imparts such unspeakable love and mercy!

The Name of Jesus... above all other names, above all principalities, and above all powers! The name of Jesus, that precious name, will forever be our banner... in battle, in victory, in sweet retreat, in triumph! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. There is something about that name!

When doubt or fear overwhelms you, just begin to speak the name that is above every name... the name of Jesus! When we think of Jesus, our thoughts should be enormous, without boundary, inexhaustible, incomprehensible, unmatchable, and unfathomable.

May today's few words be the richest words you've ever read ... the name of Jesus is more than enough! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus... there is something special about Your name. As our lips speak forth Your Name, our hearts are overjoyed at the awareness of Your presence. Oh, how we love the name of Jesus; it is as honey on our lips, sweet, pure, and nourishing to our soul. May our mouths ever show forth Thy praise and our hearts sing of Thy goodness today and every day!!!

Father, thank You for this day and Your amazing grace. Lord, let Your abundant blessings flow from the floodgates of heaven over us and our family today. Lord, Your name is wonderful! Your sacrifice for our sin was so loving and generous. Lord, we're so thankful that our Father raised you from the dead and that through You, we will be able to be with God and worship You all eternity! Lord, You are glorious. Lord, use us to be a bold witness of Your saving grace to all we meet today.

Father, we love You. Amen.
