“But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power.”

Hard to believe that the venture capital world is so frothy that a company that has an app that just sends to others one word, “Yo”, can garner $1.5MM in funding at a $10MM valuation.  But, the market speaks and it has happened.  If you want download an app that you can send me a “Yo”, then go for it.  I guess my response is also “Yo” and we can “Yo-Yo” along together.  I wonder if the cellist, Yo-Yo Ma will find it interesting?  I’m not trying to be snarky, but I do think that it is beneficial for us to step back and evaluate every now and then where the market stands and make our own assessment if we are on level footing or just standing in the froth?

There is only one word that can make a one-word difference in our lives and that is the name of Jesus.  The other day, a non-believer sent me an email that started with “Jesus!”  She was trying to make a different kind of point, but what she didn’t realize is that I stopped reading the note at that point and revised the meaning out loud to make it reverent and a moment of worship for me.  Today, practice reminding yourself that the name of Jesus is the most powerful and life-changing word of all time and that we should be reminded each and every time we read, speak or think of His name that He is there for us and we are to be there to uphold His name to others!
