"GREAT IS THE LORD, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED." He is to be feared above all gods. The Lord has written out His name, in its greatness and graciousness, on the works of His power, and on all the gifts of His love. He that would learn God's name must study creation and providence; but more earnestly, he must study the gospel. Here he will see God writing out His name more fully, displaying His glorious character and perfections, in the conversion, justification, sanctification, preservation, and glorification of multitudes of sinners. God has revealed His name in His word, and it is to be read in its proclamations, doctrines, promises, precepts, and prospects. If we read and study Jehovah's name aright, we shall be filled with admiration and adoration, and as the effect, we shall glorify Him in our prayers, praises, and conversation. To give Him the glory due unto His name will require all our talents, all our time, and even eternity itself. But to attempt to do so is a plain duty, and if the heart be right it will be a real pleasure. Let us therefore meditate on God's name, exalt His grace, and give Him the glory due unto His name.

For Meditation:
Nature and time, and earth and skies,
Thy majesty proclaim;
What shall we do to make us wise,
But learn to know Thy name?
