Name Above All Names

Recently in my devotional daily reading I read the Scripture: “At that day ye shall ask in My Name.” I have been thinking about that all day. What does it mean to ask in the Name of Jesus? His name is above all names and reflects His character. There are many names for God in the Old Testament Scripture that reflect His character; Elohim, Our Creator,  Jehovah Jireh, Our Provider, Jehovah Rohi, Our Shepherd and many others. Throughout the Scripture, we learn about the character of God through encounters that the men of God had with Him. In their encounter with God, they came to know a side of God, His nature, that they had not known before. Jesus’ name reflects His nature so the more intimate relationship I have with Him through encountering Him daily, the more my prayers will reflect His nature. And next time I pray for something I will remember that His name is not a magic formula, His name is above all names!!!
