Rely on the Right Name

Make sure you rely on the right name. Understand people tend forget most names as time goes on. One generation may recognize a person for their work and efforts but if the next generation is not taught about that person they will not recognize their name or truly understand that person’s past importance. Just like in Exodus 1 when it spoke about the children of Israel, who came to Egypt because of God allowing Joseph to save his people from famine, as time went on the next king over Egypt did not know Joseph so the children of Israel were made slaves. The current king of Egypt felt the children of Israel had grown too mighty and they posed a threat to Egypt. (Exodus 1:8-13)You have to understand that if you rely on just a human’s name you may get left behind but if you always rely on the name of the Most High, you’ll always be remembered. Understand you can receive favor from mentioning or knowing a certain person for a “length of time” but you can receive “unlimited endless” favor from mentioning and knowing God. Even though the leader of Egypt didn’t know who Joseph was God remembered His people, children of Israel, because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, & Jacob and favored them again by releasing them from Egypt’s bondage (Exodus 2:23-25).  His name stands forever (Exodus 3:15). His name is the name that should come out of your mouth first. His name is the name that you should get excited about.  His name is above every name! His name holds relevance forever. If you can’t remember any other name make sure you remember the name of Jesus because it’ll take you places that other names can’t. Rely on the right One and you‘ll always be remembered. Those who used God’s name throughout the bible were never forgotten, God always kept them and favored them. As the Bible says,  those who put their trust in the Lord will NOT be put to shame (Psalm 25:3, Romans 10:11). God  keeps His. Rely on Jesus. Stay in the race.
