The Blessing of Knowing His Name

Psalm 91:14

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.”

A person’s name is their identity. It defines who they are and how they’re known. When you call someone by name, you establish a connection with them. The closer you are to them, the more intimate the act of calling their name. When somebody you’re very close to calls you by your name, you can’t help but turn and pay attention to them.

We read in the Old Testament that God revealed Himself to Moses as ‘I Am’. He is an ever-present God, always there for everyone who calls on Him. In today’s verse, we see the blessings of intimately knowing His Name. When you draw close to the Lord and set your love on Him, He will rescue and deliver you. He will set you on high. When you follow His Word, you will be the head and not the tail(Deuteronomy 28:13).

When the Lord lived on this earth, He was called Jesus Christ. It’s this Name, that we can now reach out to when we’re in trouble. The next time you feel overwhelmed with life and you’re barely able to find the words to pray, try just speaking the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ aloud. There’s power in His Name to dispel darkness and bring about deliverance.
