Guard that name!

A good and honorable name will take you far. Your integrity has far more value that riches. Gold and silver come and go, but a good name earned by honorable behavior has lasting value even beyond one’s lifetime. We honor God’s name because it represents Who He is. The Name of Jesus is above all other names because of Who He is and what He did for us. His Name reflects His grace and glory. In the same way, our names should reflect God’s love, mercy and grace. It should reflect honorable, godly wisdom, courage and personal integrity. Work on protecting your name. It is more desirable than great riches, and it will point others to God’s goodness, because when they see what God has done in your life, they will see How God delivered you and kept you throughout your life, and they will want that same love and grace for them and their families. Always remember, your name represents you, your family, and our loving Heavenly Father.

Proverbs 22:1 (AMP) “A good name [earned by honorable behavior, godly wisdom, moral courage, and personal integrity] is more desirable than great riches; And favor is better than silver and gold”.

In His presence!

Every creature has an optimal environment that allows them to live and thrive. To the fish, it’s the ocean. To the bird, it’s the sky. To the Christian, it’s God’s presence.  Psalm 140:13 “Surely the righteous shall give thanks to Your name; The upright shall dwell in Your presence“. In His presence, we are made strong. We are cleansed, We receive His joy. We receive wisdom. We are protected. We receive His mercy. We are protected from our enemies. We are secure. We are loved. We see with His eyes. We feel His heart. We get answers for our prayers. We experience resurrection power. We receive spiritual, mental and emotional healing. His presence is the place where we live and thrive. Have you experienced His presence?

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy”.
