That Name

Just finished listening to this song and it just filled my spirit with the beauty and glory of the Most High God. This has been a tough week for me but God is so good. He is worthy of my praise even when it seems that what you want is so far out of reach. But when you remember that just the Name of Jesus makes things happen you realize that you need to stop worrying and just praise Him. Now I'll just let Ms. Yolanda sing and you not just listen but fully understand the power of Jesus name.

There is a name that is so precious,
a name so wonderful to me.
This name is worthy of all praises.
Because of him, I am made free.
That name is Jesus, oh, how I love him.
The one who gave, his life for me.
Because of love, so unconditional,
I will have life, eternally.

This name speaks peace, unto my storm clouds,
This name speaks calm, unto my fears.
And when I feel, that no one loves me.
His loving presence is so near.
That name is Jesus, oh, how I love him.
The one who gave, his life for me.
Because of love, so unconditional,
I will have life, eternally.

Praise that name!
Praise that name!
Praise that name!
Praise that name!

Someday I'll leave this earthly dwelling,
Through time and space, my soul will soar.
And I will finally see the face of Jesus.
and I'll praise that name, forevermore!
That name is Jesus, oh how I love him!
the one who gave his life for me!
Because of love so unconditional
I will have life eternally

Ohhh Matchless is that name!
Oh glorious is that name!
Wonderful is that name
Just praise....That name

His Promise

"I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." - Genesis 28:15

Don't you love how people promise you things and never deliver on their promises? 

Yeah I didn't think so. 

My grandfather always said your word and your name is all you have and once you go back on your word your reputation is destroyed. 

Didn't Dru Hill sing, "I never make a promise that I can't keep, that ain't me"? That's what God says in His Word, I never make a promise that  I can't keep, that ain't me. Over and over, time and again God has made promises that He never renegs on. His Word is His bond. When you hear His name you know it is trustworthy. Ask anyone that He has made a promise to and they'll tell you, "He's good people."

Hey, I'm one of them. God promised to never leave me nor forsake me and He's still with me going strong after almost 18 years. Even some of the most trustworthy people you know will go back on their word but God's Word has survived wars, burnings, famine, murder, governments and still stands firm even as people try (but don't succeed) to discredit it. 

No matter what, if God gives you His Word its DONE. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

I'll leave you with the lyrics of this song by Avalon cuz You can take Him at His Word.

I can take You at Your word
And my heart can rest assured
Lord, I love You
Oh, I trust You
As I live I've learned
I can take You at Your word

Your Worth

The minute YOU put a price on yourself you underestimate your worth. We are creatures that are prone to self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness. We beat ourselves down and up and sideways everyday because we don't think we're good enough. We settle for less than the best because we don't think we deserve it. We let foolishness dictate how we see ourselves. We buy into the lies.

A guy that I was seeing once gave me some great advice,

Know your worth!

But what is that? How do you measure that?

If you measure it by the world's standards you will always sell yourself short. Because we feel we will never measure up to the "ideals" of this place we call our earthly home.

But if you measure your worth by God's standards you will understand that you are, "fearfully and wonderfully made!" (Psalm 139:14) When you understand that the price God paid was a life for a life; when you truly grasp that God gave His precious and blameless son Jesus up to the cross so that we would know how much we are loved you will most assuredly know that you are PRICELESS. In the kingdom when you finally get how much God loves you a whole host of angels have a celebration in your honor. Legions in fact. That's pretty deep to me. (We must be important huh?)

Jesus paid it all. And His life is worth more than all the precious gems and cash anyone in this world could ever attain or imagine. It is worth more than all the riches possessed in this whole world.

That life was destroy because you were more important to God. He chose us! That's what your worth and you can take that to the bank.
