The Name Above All Names

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Phi 2:9-11)


Each of us is identified by the name given to us by our parents. Whenever our name is mentioned or read, those who know us draw some type of conclusion. Good or bad? Selfish or generous? Diligent or lazy? Dependable or unreliable?

How do people react and think of you when your name is mentioned? Protect yourself and develop a good name.

"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches." Proverbs 22:1

Each of us has spent our lifetime developing either a good or bad name. Any one event or situation which takes place in our lives could make or destroy our name. Travel with great care and caution!

Always protect who you are. Be proud of yourself and don't destroy in a short time what has taken a lifetime to build.

Have a good day!
Love,
Dad


Do people think on the name of Christ when they hear or see your name? Praise His Name at all times and in all situations to the Glory of God!

What name gives you comfort? Call on His name.


How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away His fear,
And drives away His fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest,
And to the weary, rest.

Dear name - the rock on which I build,
My shield and hiding place;
My never failing treasure, filled
With boundless stores of grace,
With boundless stores of grace!

Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend,
My prophet, priest, and King.
My Lord, my life, my way, my end,
Accept the Praise I bring,
Accept the praise I bring.

(John Newton, 1725-1807)
