My name continually every day is blasphemed. Isaiah 52:5
Thy name is as ointment poured forth. Song of Solomon 1:3
To many in the world the precious name of the Lord Jesus is nothing more than a swear word. How distressing it is to the child of God to hear His name used in this way! To us His name is fragrant and it is a delight to be amongst those who appreciate the greatness of His person and work and thus speak well of Him. As God gives us opportunity may we not be slow to mention that fragrant name to others who cross our pathway today. —Philip A. Kaye
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer’s ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear. —John Newton
