My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Who's Name do we make known? Psalm 45-47
We have some names in our history that we seem to remember, or are taught, in every generation. Depending upon your upbringing we have several directions to go here. Secular names pop up to our mind all the time. Past presidents or victors of battles, or even inventors and mathematicians can come to mind. There names are synonymous with success. We could think of poor names - people who are synonymous with failure, betrayal and wrong-doing. We don't want to remember this later group but we do. However, in 45:17 the Psalmist writes that there is a name that will be remembered from generation to generation. That name is to be regarded above all names. It is to be glorified above all. In every generation, Christ is spoken. And, it will be there for the future and on into eternity. Even though man has tried to stomp the life out of the Name, it endures ... it flourishes! Christ is the Name above all Names. We ought to make sure, like the Psalmist in 45:17, that we perpetuate that Name. We ought not be perpetuating our own name. We seem to want to be held in high esteem of others. We want others to know us. We want to see our name in the paper (for good things) and we want others to talk about us. But, the Name we should be promoting is the Name of Christ, the Messiah, the King! Let's spend the day fulfilling 45:17 ... making His Name known from generation to generation.
