Psalm 111

HOLY AND AWESOME IS HIS NAME

He provided redemption for his people... holy and awesome is his name. Psalm 111:9, NIV

Two characteristics of the name of the LORD are the focus of today’s devotion. To say that God is holy, is to extol His purity,
cleanness and sinlessness. To again say that God is awesome is to say that the mere mention of His name evokes fear. This may be the reason why the Hebrew does not write the name of God, but uses what is called tetragrammaton (YHWH) which means YAHWEH- God Almighty. The Psalmist realising these about God implores us to praise Him. In his song, the psalmist praised God for the great works He has done for His people, for His care and protection.

Today, consider the works of God in your life, His holiness and fear of His name which sends the enemies of jour life to scamper. The implication of these to you as a child God is that, as you go on in this perverse world you should not allow yourself to be affected or carried away by activities of the devil and his agents, no matter the pressure on you, because you must strive to be holy as your God is and desires you to be. Celebrate this awesome God as His seed in you helps your human frailties.

Birthday Blessing: The Lord will make you His mount Zion and create upon your dwelling place a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night. There will be a maximum protection upon your glory. Isa. 4:5
