Listen to Nick read the Firestarter and the Psalm.
For a video meditation on today’s Psalm created three years ago, Tap here.
The psalms are intimate prayers that join Jews, Moslems, Christians—everyone in the human family. Often, as here, the psalmist has big problems. He is aware of his enemies and begins to describe just how they are getting to him. Yet greater than the power of his enemies, the sacred writer rejoices in the power found in the name of the Lord. So awesome is this power, that Jews refrain from uttering the sacred name of God.
In Christ, we need not be so cautious. Jesus urges us to use his holy name. When prayed with faith and confidence, the same power that raised Jesus from the dead keeps you alive in God, and buoys up those people for whom you are to intercede.
When you are up against it and difficulties simply seem too much, stop—let go and place your faith in the power of the name of the Lord coming against all that comes against you.
