A reminder for
today
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very
great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with
light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain: Who
layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his
chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: Who maketh his angels spirits;
his ministers a flaming fire: Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it
should not be removed for ever. (Psalm
104:1-4)
This morning I brought cake to work for my birthday that was
yesterday. I got my department to eat cake before nine. Now that was fun.
Yesterday we visited Ugugu Primary School in Soweto on a book outreach. We gad
the grade 6 learners with us as we handed books to them and played games. It is
amazing to see how something so little can add so much value.
It is days like the last few with the start of my business,
the amazing people I work with and the opportunity to do something good that I truly
get a glimpse of how great our God is. I love Psalm 104 and when you read it
you are so humbled, and you feel so small in comparison to the God that we
worship.
I have written to you before that we should right size God. We
should first understand the majesty of the God we worship and then we need to
understand the power that He holds and the love that He has for us. God is far beyond
our understanding and we do not have the capacity to comprehend how great He
truly is, but we can get a glimpse.
When you read this psalm you soon realise that God is huge. He
is clothed with honour and majesty. He uses light as a garment and He stretches
out the heavens like a curtain. He makes the clouds His chariot and He walks
upon the wings of the wind. He created the foundation of earth so that it will
stand forever. He is amazing and He is the God that lives in you. This means
that in you is the same power that rose Jesus from the dead.
We know these things, yet we live mediocre lives. We should
live lives filled with joy and happiness. We should love other and help other. It
is in these little things that we see the great God that we worship, because when
we bless other He blesses us.
So, today I challenge you to leap instead of jump. To fly instead
of walking and to be fearless. Let the Holy Spirit lift you up and make you a warrior.
Let the glory of God break all your fears and shine over you so that you will
become contagious with His glory. Let your joy be the joy that touches all
around you and let you love reach even the smallest of all. Share His story and
sing and dance as the day opens to you.
Lord, come and show us your glory. Fill us with your Holy
spirit and let us share our joy and love with all around us. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
