Day 73 – Psalm 48

“According to Your name, O God…” Psalm 48:10

THE NAME OF GOD

The name of God is synonymous with a number of things:-

1. His self-declaration concerning His Divine attributes (Exodus 34:6-7).

2. His mighty deeds manifested {Exodus 14:17-18} (God gained great honour in defeating the Mighty Egyptian army).

His name must never be taken in vain. There should always be reverence when we think of Him and speak of Him. God Himself said that He would put His name in the Temple dedicated to Him.

“I have consecrated this house which you have built
To put My name there forever.”
1 Kings 9:3c

THE MAJESTY OF GOD’S NAME

How should a worshipper of God respond to His name? Let us ponder this sage advice.

“According to Your name, O God;
So is Your praise to the ends of the earth;
Your right hand is full of righteousness.”
Psalm 48:10

1. “According to Your name, O God”

a) God’s name was already well-established.
b) God’s name (A short list):-
i) He was The Lord Most High.
ii) He was a God who fought for His people (Exodus 14:25; Deuteronomy 1:30).
iii) He was like a father who carried his son (Deuteronomy 1:31).
c) God’s righteousness was especially highlighted because Jerusalem was the holy city.

2. “So is Your praise to the ends of the earth”

Worship should always include a strong element of praise! There is every reason to praise God, no matter how dark and dire the circumstances of life my be!
