What's in a Name?
Our names are powerful. They are the first gifts we are given and the sounds that call our attention. Our names identify us to strangers, endear us to friends, and evoke memories in loved ones. Our names carry our legacies, so it’s only natural that we have become obsessed with telling the world what they should think when they hear our names. But, in the hierarchy of Heaven, there is only one name worthy of praise. The name of Jesus causes eruptions of worship in the heavens and should in us as well. Why? Because as powerful as our names are, they were never up to pulling us from the pit and crowning us with love and compassion. Only the name of Jesus can and has done that for you.
Reflect + Apply
There is a command in this passage: to “forget not all his benefits.” Think about and celebrate some of the benefits of God that you have seen at work in your own life.
Prayer
God, I want to lay down my desire to make my name great and instead take up the cause of putting Jesus' name on display.

About this Plan
As our calendars fill and margins slim, the frenetic pace and pressure of life begin to generate a constant flow of anxiety, stress, and fear. If left unchecked, this unsustainable striving will disconnect us from the peace and pace God intended for our hearts. God established the Sabbath to help us counter the chaos of striving. Sabbath is a day or season, where we stop, rest, and remember who God is and what He’s done. It’s an opportunity to declare once again that our confidence and hope are in God alone, not our abilities or wisdom.
