Psalm 9

How great is our God! In the ninth psalm I was ministered to by the Name. “I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High” (v2) “they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee” (v10)

We know in the Hebrew culture a name was of great significance. It was your identity. When Isaac names his son Jacob, He put on him the identity of a supplantor, a little rotten scoundrel if you will... no wonder the Lord blessed him with a new name. When we fully understand and know His name we understand all that He is in our lives.

Daniel 11:32 says “but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits” When we live rejoicing not in our circumstances or situations, but in who He is we will be strong. When we learn to step out in faith believing not in our own abilities but rather in His we will do great exploits.

Walk today in victory. Rejoice in who He is and live like He is fighting your battles and ensuring ultimate victory in the Holy Ghost. “Be strong in the Lord and in His might power” (Eph 6:12)
