Trusting in the Name of the Lord

In many parts of the world, following Jesus can cost believers their freedom—or even their lives. Yet in those very places, people are turning to Christ in extraordinary numbers. Why? Because when everything else collapses, only one refuge holds. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef anchors your heart in Proverbs 18:10: “The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” He unpacks what it means to take shelter in the name of the Lord—not as a religious phrase, but as real security in real storms. Dr. Youssef then walks through the rich names of God in Scripture—names that reveal His covenant faithfulness, His provision, His healing, His peace, His righteousness, and His shepherding care. Everything you need is found in who God is. And in the New Testament, that refuge becomes unmistakably personal: Jesus is our Rock—the only safe hiding place when fear rises and circumstances grow bleak. If you’ve been tempted to trust flimsy “walls” like money, influence, or connections, this devotional calls you to the only defense that never fails: the name of Jesus—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—triple-locked protection for all who are in Christ. Prayer: Lord, I know I can run to You and find shelter and hope that does not disappoint. Help me to trust You as circumstances around me grow bleak. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
