I
once heard of a small girl and her family, who visited her Grandparents in Michigan. Upon her return home to Missouri, her parents
reported to the grandma and grandpa that their daughter happily kept saying
over and over: “Michigan! Michigan!”
Do
you know a name that has your attention? Is there a name you love to hear? Do
you love to sing its worth?
Back
to my story, there was something about that name that attracted her. It could
have been the sound of it…or the enjoyable time she had had. It’s hard to tell
with a little girl, but obviously that name had had such an impact on her that
she could not stop saying it!
Do
you talk about Jesus? He’s the reason we
live, and move, and have our being. He came and died, and rose from the
dead to save us from our sins – is there a reason we should not talk about Jesus?
Jesus
should not be the one we just talk about at church; or prayer meetings; or; in
personal devotions. He should compass
our entire being; just as the little girl
Let
heaven and nature sing. Let us sing and proclaim
his glorious, powerful, awesome name!

Thank you for the short, yet very relateable encouragement Rachel! Indeed--we do need to proclaim His name!
