"And Even Now,

As we sing Your Name, grace is falling, chains are breaking. Even now as we sing Your Name, Jesus!" (Sarah Reeves "Sweetest Name"). I was gonna say SOMETIMES all we need is the name of Jesus, but that's not true. We need the name of Jesus all the time. In our deepest darkest valleys and on our highest mountain peak. What would happen if we all just stopped everything we were doing right now and just said His name? Go ahead, I dare you, do it...just try it. I'll wait....


The Bible says in Acts 4:12, " Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." I love how it says, " by which we MUST be saved". We must means we have to. I don't know about you, but I need saving everyday. And some days every moment of the day. All I have to do is call on the name of Jesus and every bit of grace and strength and mercy comes flooding into my spirit and sets me free for that moment.

Psalm 3:1-4," O Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me: Many are saying of me, God will not deliver him. But You are a shield around me, O Lord; You bestow glory on me and lift up my head. To the Lord I cry aloud, and He answers me from His holy hill."

There are so many people that are filled with doubt that God has not or will not deliver me from this current trial. I'm sure it's the same for all of you too. But I just look at them and say, " Jesus". That's really what Psalm 3 is saying right? We cry His name and He is right there.

I challenge you in every moment of your day today and everyday to just stop and say His name. See what happens. Don't just do it when you need saving, do it because it's the sweetest thing that will ever come from your lips. Just say it because He is worth being mentioned and worth being recognized in our lives. He's just...awesome.

Thank You Jesus, we say Your name and recognize that it is the sweetest thing that we could ever say. Thank You for walking with us as we depend on Your Holy Spirit to be our helper. We love you so much. We honor You Jesus. AMEN!
