Devotional Reflection
These two ideas seem to go against each other or at least have nothing to do with each other. On the one hand, God's name is majestic on this plain, temporary place we call Earth, but He is also glorious and higher than the highest heavens. Israel is a place where these different worlds come together. This is clear from the way Jesus lived, died, and came back to life. It will be made glorious in us, who will one day share the glory of the heavens because we have boldly proclaimed the majesty of our LORD God on Earth.
Prayer
I'm grateful for Jesus' promise that if I respect Him and confess Him while I'm on earth, He will happily honor me and call my name when the time comes for me to stand before His throne in front of His angels. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
