Psalm 72:17: His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun. And men shall be blessed in Him; All nations shall call Him blessed.
Experiencing Jesus in the Psalms
His name shall endure for ever. In its saving power, as the rallying point of believers, and as renowned and glorified, his name will remain forever the same. His name shall be continued as long as the sun. While time is measured out by days, Jesus will be glorious among mankind. And men shall be blessed in him. There will be cause for all this honor, for he will really and truly be a benefactor to the race. He himself will be earth’s greatest blessing; when people wish to bless others they will bless in his name. All nations shall call him blessed. The grateful nations will wish him happy who has made them happy. Not only will some glorify the Lord, but all; no land will remain in heathenism; all nations will delight to do him honor. 1
Living the Transformed Life
I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations; Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever. Psalm 45:17
- We honor His name when we pray to Our Father, in the name of Jesus, His Son.
- We honor His name when we praise God for the wonder of His creation.
- We honor His name by never using it in vain, and not allowing our ears to listen to those who curse the name of God. (Including music, movies, and media.)
There’s no greater name than His holy name.
Praise and Prayer
Thank You Father for allowing us to call you our Father. Dear Jesus, may I also remember that one day, everyone will bow before the name of Jesus.
