Morning by Morning, December 17 - "Name Him Jesus"
Good morning, Lord Jesus. O come let us adore, You -- Christ the Lord. ...
"The angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary for you have found favor with God. And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son, and you will name Him Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give to Him the throne of His ancestor David. He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end'" (Luke 1:30-33).
The Son of the Most High, the One who would be great, the King on the throne of David who would rule and reign forever, would be named Jesus-- meaning the salvation of God. Though this Child, who would be our Savior and King, who would be born in Bethlehem and die on Calvary, who would descend into Hell and ascend into Heaven, who was and who is and who is to come, would be our salvation to restore our sin-broken relationship with our holy God. Through Jesus, "all flesh shall see the salvation of God" (Luke 3:6).
Lord Jesus, be my Salvation today and every day. Cleanse my sins, heal my hurts, break my chains. Remove every barrier from my intimate relationship with God and restore me to righteousness. You are the salvation of God. "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12).
So come, let us adore You. Let us surrender and entrust our hearts to You -- this day and every day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today! In the Love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
My Friend, I pray you surrender and entrust your heart to Jesus -- the Salvation of God -- this day and every day, as He cleanses your sins, heals your hurt, breaks your chains, and removes every barrier to restore you in righteousness to God, in Jesus' name!

Ps 147:1-3, 6, 11, 19 BSB
How good it is to sing praises to our God, for praise is pleasant and lovely. 2The LORD builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel. 3He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. 6The LORD sustains the humble,11The LORD is pleased with those who fear Him, who hope in His loving devotion. 19He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.
Isa 61:1-3 BSB
1The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release from darkness to the prisoners, 2to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, 3to provide for those who grieve in Zion—to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise in place of a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
