His Name Is...

“Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name; worship the Lord in holy array.” Psalm 29:2

Remember the chorus “His Name Is Wonderful”? How often have you sung it lately?

The name of Jesus evokes a response from us. Napoleon spoke well when he said, “If Socrates would enter the room, we should rise and do him honor. But if Jesus Christ came into the room, we should fall down on our knees and worship Him.” Indeed, His name bears the imprint of His presence.

How does His wonderful name affect you? Do songs which magnify and lift the name of Jesus stir you and cause you to worship Him? What effect does His name have on you when it is uttered in a curse?

I once heard a friend remark to someone who used Christ’s name as an exclamation point, “I would appreciate it if you would not talk about Jesus Christ that way. He is my best Friend!”

Christian friend, it ought to cause you pain to hear His precious name abused by the unbelieving world, but how many professing Christians thoughtlessly use a shortened version of that very name in casual conversation and never think about it? How sensitive are you to that Wonderful Name?

Today get your memory going and recall the chorus “His Name Is Wonderful.” Sing it worshipfully to the Lord.
