Let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the Lord,
and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for he
will abundantly pardon.
(Isaiah 55:7)



TOPICS: Prayer
KEYWORDS: heroes; nation; pray
Father, even the great apostle Paul did not want us to be uninformed about the hardships he suffered while in the province of Asia. He, too, was under great pressure, far beyond his ability to endure, so that he despaired even of life. Even many of Your mightiest servants have despaired of life. Like them, however, we must stand once again in Your strength and courage and allow You to pour Your life back into us. Victorious Lord, how we thank You that the oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease. The aggressor will vanish from the land.

Lord, if we Your children in this nation remain stubborn and unrepentant in heart, Your Word says we are storing up wrath for ourselves for the day of Your wrath, when Your righteous judgment will be revealed. For those who are self-seeking, reject the truth, and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil...but glory, honor, and peace for everyone who does good. Help us, Your children in this nation, and all our American Heroes to see that the "good" You want is to do in response to our sin is to repent and receive Your help, to turn our lives entirely over to You. We do not have to settle for a life hopelessly entangled in sin. Set us free, Lord, In Jesus name we pray, Amen

The Name

April 3, 2012

What is it about a name that makes it so special to us? I began thinking about this after talking to a teenager as we stood outside her church in Black River, Jamaica, one Sunday morning. She asked, “Would you mention my name in Our Daily Bread?” I asked her if she had a story to tell, and she said, “No, just mention my name.”

As I thought about her request—and her name—I wondered why her parents named her “Joyeth.” Seeing the happy nature of her personality led me to conclude that if their rationale was to urge her along toward “joy” in her life, they had succeeded.

Most parents have that choice when a new baby is coming. But one baby received His name in a far different way. It wasn’t His parents’ choice that led to His moniker, and His wasn’t a name given to coax Him toward a personality trait. I’m speaking of the One whose name was provided by an angel who told His parents to “call His name Jesus” (Matt. 1:21). Why? “For He will save His people from their sins.”

No wonder His is the name above all names (Phil. 2:9). It’s a name that reveals His purpose—to provide salvation from the penalty of our sins. Jesus is indeed the name worth mentioning.

The name above all other names
Is Jesus Christ the Lord;
He came to save us from our sins
So we could be restored. —Sper
Jesus: His name and His mission are one and the same.

Read: Matthew 1:18-25

You shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins. —Matthew 1:21
Bible in a Year:
1 Kings 14-16
