Saving You Is God’s Job Description
Today’s Scripture
But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” —Matthew 1:20–21
T HE NAME “J ESUS ” is Yeshua in Hebrew, which contains an abbreviation for Yahweh, the name of God in Hebrew. So the name “Jesus” literally means “ Yahweh is our Savior” or “The Lord is our Savior”! What a beautiful name!
----
Jesus is your Savior!

Every time you call the name of Jesus, the name that is above every other name, you are calling God Himself to save you. Saving you is Jesus’ job description! Whatever the challenge or circumstance, whatever crisis you are in—physically, financially or emotionally—you can call on the name of Jesus and Almighty God Himself will save you!
My friend, you can take time to know the names of God, which He revealed under the old covenant, such as Elohim, El Shaddai, El Elyon, Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Rophe and Jehovah-Nissi. You can do a complete study on the names of God. I am not against that at all. I teach on the names of God in my church as well, but all these names will mean nothing to you if you don’t know that God Almighty Himself, Jesus, wants to save you first from all your sins, then from all your challenges.
God can be all powerful, but if you are not confident that He is interested in your success, His power would mean nothing to you. So, you don’t have to memorize all the names of God from the old covenant. What you need is a full revelation that Jesus, in the new covenant, is your Savior! What is Tiger Woods famous for? Golf! What is David Beckham famous for? Soccer! (He’s also famous for product endorsements!) What is Jesus famous for? Saving you!
What do you need saving from today? See Him in your situation, rescuing, protecting and providing for you!
Today’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, because You are my mighty Savior, there is no challenge or circumstance that can successfully defeat me. Thank You for saving me from my sins and from every challenge that besets me today. I receive Your wisdom, protection and provision to deliver me from and prosper me in every difficult circumstance I have to deal with today.
Today’s Thought
Jesus has saved me from my sins and His power is available to save me from any and every challenge in my life.

God Is Able And Willing
Today’s Scripture
And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. —Matthew 8:2–3
A LL C HRISTIANS PROBABLY believe that God has the power to bless, heal, protect, prosper and make someone a success. However, we know that not all Christians believe that God is willing to do all that for
