Call upon the Name of the Redeemer 2-5-08

Good morning, Lord Jesus. Your name is above every name. And Your name is first name I speak today -- Jesus. ... "Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, for she said, 'God has appointed for me another child instead of Abel, because Cain killed him.' To Seth also a son was born, and he named him Enosh. At that time people began to invoke the name of the Lord" (Genesis 4:25-26). People began to invoke Your name -- to speak out and call upon Your name -- as they began to see Your redeeming nature and power. You took the brokenness and pain of a mother and father's grief over the loss of their son and began to redeem their pain with the life of another son. You didn't deny their pain or replace their pain. You redeemed their pain. For You are a redeeming God (Psalm 31:5). Even the things You do not will and desire, but that we experience in a broken and fallen world, You will redeem -- causing all things to work together for good as we give them to You and call on Your name (Romans 8:28). "For, 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved' " (Romans 10:13). In Jesus' name I pray, Amen. Be encouraged today!
