11/10/13 Isaiah 12:4 Help Others to Remember that the Lord's Name Is Exalted

Isaiah 12:4 (NAS)

And in that day you will say, "Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted.

 

              Isaiah 12:4 (NIVUS) 

In that day you will say: "Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.

  
Do you have faith in God? If you do, then you should be speaking about Him.  You should tell about what He means to you and what He has done for you. You should even boast of Jehovah and His acts; show that you are proud to have Him as your Lord and Master.  Give thanks and praise His name! Stretch out your hands towards heaven in supplication and surrender, for Jehovah is the Lord and God who remains and abides forever
 
Your faith gives you access to Adonai, the Most High; you, therefore, can call out to Him for help.  Invite His presence into your life, for you are God's chosen one. The reputation, fame, and glory of the Almighty are at your disposal. He has extended compassion to you and through His name; you are ordained and appointed, fixed and established.
 
You have come to know the deeds of God.  You perceive that even if what God does appears severe, He does not practice wantonness or evil. He will not make a fool of you or abuse you. You should reveal Adonai's doings among people and nations. Declare His light to those whose sight has become dim and dark. Remind people to call upon His name and to exalt Him, for He is high and lifted up.  As you do this, God will lift you up and set you safely and securely away from your enemies. Like the One you worship, you will be inaccessible in a prosperous place.
