For His Name's Sake
Take a moment and think of all the popular names you know.....
Now think of the name Jesus!
Do you know that God can choose to act or not act for His name's sake? God honors His name that much. For instance, 1 Samuel 12:22: "For the sake of his great name, the Lord will not reject his people, because the Lord was pleased to make you his own"
For His name's sake God spared His people, the psalmist understood this principle when he said in Psalm 23:3 "He guides me along the right paths for His name's sake"
Psalm 25:11: "For the sake of your name, Lord, forgive my iniquities though it is great"
Psalm 106:8: "Yet he saved them for His name's sake, to make his mighty power known"
Isaiah 48:9: "For my own name's sake I delay my wrath, for the sake of my praise, i hold it back from you, so as not to destroy you completely"
1 John 2:12: "I am writing to you dear children because your sins have been forgiven on account of his name".
We should be able to trust in the name of Jesus and also trust in the fact that God honors His name, the beautiful thing is that His name answers to different situations and circumstances.
Jehovah Jireh- God our provider
Jehovah Rapha- God our healer
Jehovah Shalom- God our peace
Jehovah Nissi- God our banner
Jehovah Raah- God our shepherd
God will honor His name in our lives and in whatever situation, FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.
Yours in the walk...
