FAITH CAPSULE: Can you think of where to run or hide?

Exodus 6:1-8

The psalmist declared, “Let them praise the name of the Lord, For His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.” (Psalm 148:13) There is no any other name which can save or deliver like the name of God. The psalmist called, “Save me, O God, by Your name, and vindicate me by your strength.” (Psalm 54:1) Is there any other name you can think of calling for salvation or deliverance outside the mighty name of the gracious God?
When it was time for the deliverance of the Israelites from Pharaoh “… God spoke to Moses and said to him: ‘I am the LORD. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name LORD I was not known to them.’”(Exodus 6:2-3) The name of God alone brought them out of the bondage of Egypt. Pharaoh attempted every oppositional means to disapprove the effectiveness and the power that is in the name of God but failure answered to him.
The name of God answered with fire for Elijah on Mount Carmel. Elijah alone confronted four hundred and fifty Baal’s prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.” (1 Kings 18:25) The bible recorded, “Baal prophets called on the name of Baal from morning even till noon, saying, “O Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice; no one answered.” (1Kings 18:26) When Elijah called on the name of God, fire of the Lord fell.
In His name, undeniable testimonies of victory occupy the pages of the bible. Proverbs 18:10 recorded, “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.”  If you have accepted Christ as your Lord and Savior your righteousness is set in Him. Call on the name of the Lord as your shelter and He will cover you in every area of confrontation. Goliath in David’s life meant to kill him when he threatened, “…come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field!” (1 Samuel 17:44) David responded to Goliath stating, “…you come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1 Samuel 17:45)Can you think of where to run or hide? In this world, there is no hiding place that is safe except in the name of the Lord.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to know and to call on the name of God in all your way.
