“Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God” Psalm 20:7
Praise JESUS
Some time back, an evangelist called me to go with him to see a car, which he is about to buy. The person who was selling the car told us, if you go by the car, no cops will stop you (in India
The seller was boasting about the car.
I was thinking of buying a bike, and was checking through various options available in the market, and finally I decided to buy one bike and I started to boast about the best features of the bike even before I bought that bike. Still I didn’t buy the bike.
I was boasting about the bike even before I buy that.
The verse I have taken for today’s meditation is “Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God” Psalm 20:7.
In Tamil language translation the word “trust” is translated as boasting. The same word is used for what is written in Galatians 6:14 and the word remember is translated to glorifying.
Now let us focus on what the Psalmist says here, he was saying he will glorify only the name of the LORD.
The parents of a child visualize (desires) how the child’s life should be and in that expectation, the parents call that name to the child. For GOD it is not like this. The Name of the LORD says the characteristics of GOD.
Some of the Names of the GOD are given in Isaiah 9:6, “… his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace”. These are the characteristics of the LORD.
The Holy Bible tells us in Proverbs 18:10, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe”. I am encouraged by this that we have a refuge in the name of the LORD. Many times we panic what to do, where to go when storms struck us, but here the verse says, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower: … “
When we are in need we can trust in the Name of the LORD, “JEHOVAH JIREH” – The LORD himself our provider.
When we are in need of physical healing, we can trust in the Name of the LORD, “JEHOVAH RAFAH”, GOD our Healer. We have healing in the wounds of JESUS CHRIST. The Holy Bible tells us in Isaiah 53:5, “…with his stripes we are healed”
We can go one saying about the names of the LORD. If GOD is willing, I will write a series of devotions on the Names of the LORD.
We also have salvation in the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST , "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name", John 20:31 also “…thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins”, Matthew 1:21.
“And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved; …“, Joel 2:32 (NIV)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved”, Romans 10:13
So we have a refuge in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, our Savior.
Dear reader, if you have not made JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and Savior, will you pray this simple prayer and become a part of the Heavenly family of JESUS CHRIST.
Dear JESUS CHRIST, I believe you are the Son of GOD, came to this world to save my soul from my sin. I believe you died on the Cross for my sins and rose again on the third day. I accept You as my LORD and Savior. Forgive me and wash away all my sins with your Holy Blood and make me a partaker of heavenly family. Amen.
