God’s Exalted Name and Word!
Scripture reading for July 7th: Psalm 135-138
Key Scriptures: Psalm 138:2-4 “I will bow down toward Your holy temple and will praise Your Name for Your love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted above all things Your Name and Your word. When I called, You answered me; You made me bold and stouthearted. May all the kings of the earth praise You, O Lord, when the hear the words of Your mouth.”
The psalmist recognized that God’s Name and His Word were exalted above all things. He praised the Name of the Lord and thanked Him for His love and faithfulness. He thanked God for answered prayer. Because of God’s impeccable character, the psalmist was bold and strong in his faith! His prayer was that all kings of the earth would praise this awesome Lord!
God’s exalted Word: “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and all the nations of the earth will mourn. They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. . . .Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will never pass away.” (Matthew 24:30-31, 35)
Jesus–God’s final Word!
Scripture reading for October 13th: Hebrews 1
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Hebrews 1:1-3 “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom He made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word.”
God, the Father, is a God who is active in the creation and spoke by revelation to man. In earlier times God spoke through the prophets. Prophets were anointed men and women who spoke as God spoke to them through direct conversation, visions, or dreams. But the writer of Hebrews declares that God’s final Words come from His own Son, Jesus Christ! In fact, He is the Word made flesh and is the embodiment of God’s nature and glory. His Son sustains all creation and the universe by His Word!
Observations for over-comers: Over-comers recognize God’s Son as God’s revelation of Himself to us in these last days and are sustained by His powerful Word! “I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise Your Name for Your love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted above all things Your Name and Your Word.” (Psalm 138:2)
