A reminder for
today
Since we are
receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by
worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire. (Hebrews
12:28-29)
It is Friday and it is almost weekend. I listened to the testimony
of Paul Young the author of “The Shack”. He speaks about grace of a day or
rather grace for a day. He says that each day we should live in that day’s
grace. We should embrace the grace we receive each day and live it to the
fullest. The fact that I woke this morning is by grace and the love of God. We easily
forget the amazing gift that we have called “life”. Jesus spoke about this in a
sense in Matthew 6. "So don't worry
about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we
wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your
heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above
all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.”
So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.”
Above all, we are receiving a kingdom that is unshakable in
eternity with the Lord. So let us forget about the past and all our troubles
and let us focus on God. God is a devouring fire and I must admit I love that
verse. We are worshipping an awesome God and we must never forget whom He is. Paul
says we must worship Him with holy fear and awe. When He says fear, he talks
about God’s judgement over sin. The awe part is easy, because God leaves me in
awe every day. The fear part is not so easy, because we are under constant
attacks from the enemy and at days, it can be very slippery. However, fortunately,
we have Jesus and He is our strength so that we can overcome these attacks. Jesus
is our hope and our life, He is the way and in Him, we find shelter from darkness,
as he becomes the light that guides us in the Holy Spirit. You are and will
always remain in my prayers and I continue to ask God to strengthen you and
keep you from stumbling.
Lord, I pray that you lead us through this day and let us
see your glory as we worship you. We are in awe of your wonder and we desire
more of you and less of us. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and let us shine like
the morning star. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
