In the Name of the Lord
Text: Psalm 20
There is power in some names. The phrase, they make a name for themselves. Kind of like they’ve created a brand. If your name is Hunter Biden then you have access to money and power because of your name. There is a world you and I don’t have access to because we don’t have the right name. The LORD is a king who has a kingdom in verse 9. The name of the king is access and power.
The name of the LORD (20:1, 5, 7) carries with it a kingdom with access and support of eternal value. Proverbs 18:10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Carrying the name of the king while violating his laws carries with it harsh punishment.
