‘Certainly you will respect me!
Now you will accept correction!’
REVELATION 15:4 (GNT)
Who will not stand in awe of you, Lord?
Who will refuse to declare your greatness?
You alone are holy.
THE ESSENCE
Respect and awe for God involves embracing his holiness.
DAILY FODDER
Many sing praise songs declaring the awesomeness of God, but few allow his holiness to shape their lives. How do you deal with this inconsistency in your life?
PRAYER
Awesome God, I love declaring your greatness. But I admit that I'm don't get as excited about how you’re trying to redirect and reshape my life according to your image. Help me to let go of the things that are offensive to your holy self. I want to honor you with both my words and life. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
