For His Name’s Sake (The Name Devotional Book Excerpt)
“Yet He saved them for His Name’s Sake, to make His mighty power known.”
Psalm 106:8
We do a lot of things in life for the sake of certain things.
For the sake of the family… for the sake of the marriage... for the sake of the career…for the sake of love…for the sake of time…
You get the point.
Part of approaching The Most High, The Creator of everything and everyone, involves addressing Him AT His powerful Name’s Sake.
Divine “Power of Attorney.”
But it’s much more than that.
We approach Him, when we call out To HIM!
It is, therefore, the least we can do, after He loved and saved us FOR His Name’s Sake.
Take that in now, the gravity of that.
What does that me to you?
What does that me FOR you?
What questions arise for Him about His Love and Salvation for You, for His Name’s Sake?
How do you feel about that?
Abba,
I come to You now, knowing just how I have done a number of things in my life for the sake of something that was not prioritized properly.
I went after vain, selfish, sinful, and silly things, thinking they were more important than what they were.
And I am humbled by the contrast against what You have done, for the Sake of Your Name.
I admit it. I have not thought about, nor reverenced, Your Name with the Honor it is due.
I’ve sinned and acted willfully and ignorantly AGAINST it.
Forgive me.
I come to You now, asking for Your Help, in connection with Who You are, AT Your Name.
Help me to understand, and live honorably, knowing better what “Your Name’s Sake” means for me.
It has paid for my life soul, sparing them.
Thank You.
I am aware that I need to praise and thank You more for just what Your Name has done.
Show me, in my life, what that is.
Thank you.
Amen.
