Greetings Balanced Life Family,
We all have names. Check your friendship list of names to see how many names you know of people that you can always count on. Ones who will be with you always and never fail you. Names of people that can do things that seem impossible and always love you unconditionally. You won’t find any.
But, the name of Jesus is powerful. God has given him a name that is above every other name. God spoke to all creation about Jesus when he said in Matthew 3:17 “This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.” And as the Son of God, he has all power.
This is the name of the one you can call on when things get tough and the weight of your problem is too heavy for you to bear. Jesus is a burden bearer and he’ll carry your heavy load. Call him!
Jesus is the one you can trust to lead you when the way gets dark and you can’t see your way. He’s a light in darkness. John 8:12 says “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” Don’t be afraid to call him!
You can call on Jesus when you’re sad and heartbroken. When you’re so low in spirit it seems like you’ve fallen into a pit and can’t get out. Psalm 34:18 tells us “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” Call Jesus!
When you’re faced with the afflictions of life. When you feel like there’s no end to the suffering, trust the name of Jesus. Psalm 34:19 lets us know “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” Call him!
Jesus can do these things and so much more. Calling on the name of Jesus and getting an answer is a blessing and privilege. Those who believe and trust in God and believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God, have access to this blessing and privilege. Let me encourage you to remember that you have access, so when you need Him, don’t hesitate to call him. His name is Jesus.
