I stand I stand in awe of you
I stand I stand in awe of you
To whom all praise is due
I stand in awe of you.
Jesus Calling devotional today…
I AM TAKING CARE OF YOU. Trust me at all times. Trust me in
all circumstances. Trust Me with all your heart. When you are weary and
everything seems to be going wrong, you can still utter these four words: “I
trust You, Jesus.” By doing so, you release matters into My control, and you
fall back into the security of My everlasting arms.
Before you arise from your bed in the morning, I have
already arranged the events of your day. Every day provides many opportunities
for you to learn My ways and grow closer to Me. Signs of My Presence brighten
even the dullest day when you have eyes that really see. Search for Me as for
hidden treasure. I will be found by you.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, “Destroy
him!” Deuteronomy 33:27
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your
heart. I will be found by you,” declares the LORD, “And will bring you back
from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have
banished you,” declares the LORD, “and will bring you back to the place which I
carried you into exile.” Jeremiah 29:13-14
In exodus 34 it talks about how Moses would spend time with
God and his face would glow with the Glory of the Lord so much so that Moses
had to wear a veil to cover his face. To me this is the awe we sing about. Only
I really don’t think we would be able to stand literally but only figuratively
standing in belief that God is working even if we don’t see the evidence of it.
The more time we spend in His presence the more our face and
lives shine with His Glory as well. I have fallen away from quality time and I truly
miss that.
Again, I find myself living by my feelings. I have been
putting my desires ahead of my time with Him.
How do we keep balanced in our lives?
Word—stay in it!! Every day!!
Pray—intentional about everything!!
Do—be faithful to Him by doing the best you can every day.
Don’t put life or things or people before God. He is your
number one priority.
Romans 12:1-2 msg
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your
everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and
walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God
does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so
well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking.
Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out.
Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the
culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God
brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
Your life is an offering to Him. Live like it…
