January 12: Rejoice and Be Glad.
Delight in Christ's Name.
In Your name they rejoice all day long, And in Your righteousness they are exalted.--Psalm 89:16, NKJV
THE NAME OF THE LORD" is "merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,...forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." Exodus 34:5-7. Of the church of Christ it is written, "This is the name wherewith she shall be called, The Lord our Righteousness." Jeremiah 33:16. This name is put upon every follower of Christ. It is the heritage of the child of God.--Thoughts From the Mount of Blessing, 106.
The disciples were to carry their work forward in Christ's name. Their every word and act was to fasten attention on His name, as possessing that vital power by which sinners may be saved. Their faith was to center in Him who is the source of mercy and power. In His name they were to present their petitions to the Father, and they would receive answer. They were to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Christ's name was to be their watchword, their badge of distinction, their bond of union, the authority for their course of action, and the source of their success.--The Acts of the Apostles, 28.
Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.
In Your name they rejoice all day long,
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
--Psalm 89:15, 16, NKJV
