Psalm 63:8 in the Amplified is one of my anchor verses. It says, “My whole being follows hard after you and clings closely to You; Your right hand upholds me.” Let’s look at a few verses regarding the name of Jesus.

Acts 4:12 says, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Romans 10:13 says, “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

New songs bubble up as we focus on the Lord with our whole being. In Psalm 40, David reflected on how the Lord rescued him from the horrible pit, bringing him up from the miry clay. Verse 3 says, “He has put a new song in my mouth—praise to our God; many will see it and fear, and will trust in the Lord.”

David’s psalms were expressions from his entire being. His words reflected his raw emotions back to the Lord. I flee to the Psalms when I need emotional support ~ they anchor my mind, will, and emotions.
