Declare His Name

 Scripture:

“For by now I could have stretched out my hand and struck you and your people with plague, and you would have been destroyed from the earth. But for this purpose I have caused you to stand: to show you my strength, and so that my name may be declared in all the earth.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭9‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NET‬‬

Observation:

The Lord speaks in this passage through Moses and Aaron. He tells Pharaoh that He could have destroyed him by this time, but allowed him to stand for one purpose, “to show my strength, and so that my name may be declared in all the earth.” God allowed Pharaoh to live and see His mighty miracles, not to entertain Moses, but that His name would be declared in all the earth.

Application:

God’s intention, in every situation, is that His name be proclaimed to the whole world. His desire has always been that the whole world would be His people and He would be their God. If God wants His name proclaimed in all the world, I want to be part of doing what He wants. I want to be a voice for God in all the earth. I want to proclaim His goodness to people near and far. I want the world to know Jesus.

Prayer:

Father, help me to serve You well in my generation. Teach me to declare Your goodness in Loudoun County, VA and in the nations of the world. Thank you for letting me be part of Your plan in the earth in every nation. Empower me to do more for You and Your kingdom so You name may be praised in all the earth and that You may have sons and daughters all over the world.

Yours,

Jeff
