He has exalted His word
Psalm 138:2, 21st Century King James Version – …for Thou hast magnified Thy word above all Thy Name.
Every time God would appear to people to do something magnificent in their lives, He will always appear with a name – Jehovah Jireh, Elohim, El Shadai, I am, El Tsaddik, El Elyon, El Olam, El Roi, El Yeshurun, El Gibbor, El De’ot, El Haggadol, El Hakkavod, the list can go on and on. All of these Names of God have meanings and it works when called.
But our opening scripture is saying this same God has magnified or lifted His word above His Name. Well, some people can just see you in an act and just give you a name (nickname). At times too, you can also just give yourself a name based on an ability you have exhibited but what makes you is something eternal or something that cannot be changed about you.
The same with God, what makes God, God is never the numerous Names He has but His word that talks about our Supreme and Big He is. To know God, the first to get to is His word, never His Name. Yes, I am never disputing the power in the Name of God, but that power can be access through the knowledge of His word. This why we need to hold the word of God in high esteem.
Prayer
Lord Jesus, give me the eyes and ears to see, hear and know Your word, Halleluyah!
