JESUS Has A Name Suiting Every Want, Every Need.

The name of the LORD 
is a strong tower!
(Ralph Erskine, 1685-1752)

"The name of the LORD 
is a strong 
tower! A righteous person runs to 
it and is safe!" Proverbs 18:10

JESUS has a name suiting 

every want, every need.

Do you need wonders to be wrought 
for you? HIS name is WONDERFUL; 
look to HIM so to do, for HIS name's sake.

Do you need counsel and direction
HIS name is the COUNSELOR; cast 
yourself on HIM and HIS mighty 
name for this.

Have you mighty enemies to engage? 
HIS name is the MIGHTY GOD; 
seek that HE may exert HIS power 
for HIS name's sake.

Do you need HIS fatherly pity
HIS name is the everlasting FATHER; 
as a father pities his children, so 
the LORD pities those who fear him. 
Plead HIS pity, for HIS name's sake.

Do you need peace--
external, internal, or eternal? 
HIS name is the PRINCE of PEACE; 
seek for HIS name's sake, that 
HE may create peace.

O sirs, HIS name is JEHOVAH-ROPHI 
the LORD, the healer and physician; 
seek, for HIS name's sake, that 
HE may heal all your soul diseases.

Do you need pardon
HIS name is JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU, 
the LORD our RIGHTEOUSNESS; 
seek for HIS name's sake, that HE 
may be merciful to your unrighteousness.

Do you need defense and protection
HIS name is JEHOVAH-NISSI, the LORD 
your banner; seek, for HIS name's 
sake, that HIS banner of love and 
grace may be spread over you.

Do you need provision in extreme 
want? HIS name is JEHOVAH-JIREH, 
in the mount of the LORD it shall 
be seen, the LORD will provide.

Do you need HIS presence
HIS name is JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH, 
the LORD is there; IMMANUEL, 
GOD with us; look to HIM to be 
with you, for HIS name's sake.

Do you need an audience of prayer
HIS name is the HEARER of Prayer.

Do you need strength
HIS name is the Strength of Israel.

Do you need comfort
HIS name is the Consolation of Israel.

Sit down and ponder your 
wants and needs--
and you will find HE has a name 
suitable for your supply; HE has . . .
  all wisdom to guide you,
  all power to keep you,
  all mercy to pity you,
  all holiness to sanctify you,
  all righteousness to justify you,
  all grace to adorn you,
  and all glory to crown you!
