Inspired by the power the name of Jesus invokes

 I was finally able to catch a whisper of God after a long struggle of tuning down the disquieting noises in my head.
I just can’t tell you how happy I am after been able to listen to God.I am using song lyrics to explain some of my thoughts:
“All condemned; feel no shame, at the sound of your great name.” Condemnation brings shame and shame always makes us hide from God. Just like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. God brings conviction and not condemnation.
“Every fear; has no place; at the sound of your great name.”  Isn’t the promise of God sufficient for us, ‘So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” If we are afraid of being wounded then “Isn’t He the one that wounds but also binds up; He injures, but His hand also heal.”
“All the weak; find their strength; at the sound of your great name.” What strength do I have that I should still hope? What prospects, that I should wait patiently? Isn’t it Jesus and Him alone?
“Hungry souls; receive grace; at the sound of your great name.” To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are His. He releases them to those who hunger after Him.
“The fatherless; they find their rest; at the sound of your great name.”
