exalt His name

Ezekiel 17:1-20:29

In chapter 20, God explains how He did all of these things for the people of Israel (choosing them, leading them out of Egypt, giving them His decrees, placing them in a good land), but they still turned to their own way.  How tragic!  And God says several times something like:

9 But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations

It is my goal that the name of Yahweh and the name of Jesus Christ would be exalted among the nations.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, I pray that you would use me to exalt and glorify your name.  Please lead me away from anything that profanes your name.  I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
