“You have magnified your WORD above…your NAME.” (Psalm 138:2)
Like King David, it has been my observation over the years that sometimes we magnify God in name only. We are distressed when we hear someone take God's Name is vain…yet do not seem to care whether we know what God has actually said in His WORD. Is it possible that we often go to God’s house, pray to God, and worship God…in “Name” only?
David tells us in the above Psalm that God magnifies His WORD over his NAME and that His “…WORD is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” (Psalm 119:105)
Take this clear statement in God’s WORD and ask whether you believe God on the subject…or men:
”It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things.” (1 Timothy 4:9-11)
