While listening to our Pastor speak last Sunday a phrase that caught my attention was this,
‘The very mention of Your name’

I must confess I don’t remember anything else our Pastor said after that, my mind captivated by those six words.
In everyday life, who is it that captures our thoughts, our attention, our heart. A child may here the words ‘Daddy’s home’ and immediately race for the front door…at the very mention of his name. Or another might hear a name that strikes fear into their heart…someone in authority, a bully, a terrorist…it only took the mention of their name. Standing at the altar, as a man and a woman declare their love, their vows to one another… the very mention of each other’s name will melt their hearts.

Who is it that captures our heart more than any other, that takes our breath away even for a moment…at the very mention of their name. I have seen this revelation of love, of thanksgiving, these breath taking moments displayed more often than not at an event most of us attend at least once a week corporately, hopefully on a daily basis on our own…in Worship.

There are moments in worship, whether in a crowd of thousands or in the solitude of a place where I meet with the Lord on my own, where the very mention of His name can cause me to weep, to dance, to declare my love for my Saviour.
Remember that Jesus said ‘I am with you always…I will never leave you nor forsake you! At the very mention of His name, He is there!
