The Eternal Name
Blessed be the name of God forever and ever . . .
Daniel 2:20
Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 96.
Only one name is eternal and worthy of our praise and attention: the Name of the Lord God, Jesus Christ. The names of politicians, sports figures, inventors, and others from all walks of life come and go. While their names may continue in history, their impact is not lasting. The Prophet Daniel, who served the king of the dominant power in the world, declared, “Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His” (Daniel 2:20). He did not declare the name King Nebuchadnezzar as the almighty one, only God. Again, on another occasion Isaiah, the prophet, also exalted Him as “the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy” (Isaiah 57:15).
His name is eternal because His is the One, True, Eternal God; He is from everlasting to everlasting. He is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirt, forever three and forever One God.
Prayer: Eternal God, and Ancient of Days, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, ever three and ever One, I praise You, bless and exalt You this day. Thank You that You are my God and have made Yourself known to me. Help me to make You know to others. In Jesus name, amen.
