June 8 – And what do we do...

We call on the name of Jesus.

“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 124v8

Shakespeare wrote that what is in a name, that which we call a rose, by any other name will smell just as sweet.

But we sing, that Jesus is the sweetest name I know, He’s always just the same, O praise His holy name, that is the reason why I love Him so, Jesus is the sweetest name I know.

And we know that:
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4v12

When you are in trouble, who do you call on? Psalm 124v8 proclaims that our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth. Do you know the Lord’s name. Call on Him. His ears are not too heavy that He cannot hear you.

A song I really like, I think it’s by Cece Winans, but I’m not too certain, speaks of when you don’t know what else to say, just say the name – Jesus. Sometimes we think we have really lost it, and are back to scratch, especially when you think you have been walking on a spiritual high. Remember the Christian walk involves God molding us day by day and we don’t overnight become perfect. But what can we do, we call on Jesus and He is faithful to help especially through the Third Person in the Trinity who is right here with us. But sometimes, we just want things to change overnight. Press on, and forget what is behind – and remember, your help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Have a great day.
