Name above all names

This morning, as I got ready I was playing some "worship" music and one of the songs had that line in it...name above all names. We talk about people having a good name and how much brand names mean to consumers. It is one of the first things that we get when we are born. Some go by just one name and others have 4 or 5. We have nicknames, surnames, aka's and married names. Still, how great is the God whose name is above ALL names? Above every person that has done anything ever...as humans we love to see something before we believe it. Psalm 19 tells us that the heavens declare his glory and his voice goes out all across the earth. This morning, amid the mean undercurrent that comes with being a pastor, I am glad to be serving Christ...preaching for him, teaching for him, loving for him, and yes...worshipping for him. Let us never forget who we worship and why we worship him. Worship leaders shouldnt have to pick songs because that is what the people want...that is wrong. Still, with all of that and the behind the back talk...I love being a pastor and serving Him...his love is extravagant and has captured my heart again.

You hit it on the head.....we need to remember for whom we are doing all the things we do in the ministry. We will NEVER please everyone........God is who we need to worry about..........He is the only one that really matters.
