We read Psalm 138 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today and another of my very favrotie verses! Verse 2:
2 I will worship toward Your holy temple and praise Your name for Your loving-kindness and for Your truth and faithfulness; for You have exalted above all else Your name and Your word and You have magnified Your word above all Your name!
There are two very important lessons to be learned in this verse! First of all, John 10:10 tells us that God's Word is TRUTH! So we know that the Word is in an exalted position! Then we know that JESUS was given the Name that is above EVERY name that has ever been named (Philippians 2:9)! So both God's Word and His Name are exalted above all else! The verse above, however, tells us something more! This tells us that the Name of JESUS, which has been exalted above all other names, received it's exaltation FROM God's Word! We are told to come to the Father in prayer , in the Name of JESUS, repesenting all the HE is! BUT, when we come before HIM in prayer with the Word of God that covers the promise on which we are standing, the WORD that is above all else, and the IN Name of Jesus, there is no way that our prayers will not be answered! AMEN! SO, find out what the Word of God has to say and then enter HIS presence BOLDLY as one who has the authority to do so by HIS NAME, and, armed with the unfailing promise of His highly exaltede WORD, we WILL have what we are praying for! A further witness on this is found in 1 John 5:14-15:
14 And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. 15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.
AMEN! Isn't the Word of God WONDERFUL and POWERFUL? Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word":
Shalom in Him!
