His passage is so powerful in describing the character of God. It is hard to imagine how our culture can zero in on in on some Old Testament passages and declare God to be angry and vengeful…although there are passages where that can be seen, it is always after chapters and books of His patience, kindness and compassion…
Lord, thank you for Your compassion & lovingkindness! We would be hopeless without it…help me to live in light of who You are!
Lord, Your plan was and is incredible, surprising and perfect. That You would sen Jesus, Your Son, to take my place and that of every believer…is nearly incomprehensible. Never has there been a demonstration of love more obvious than Your plan. I am in awe of You!
Help me to live a life that brings You glory!
Lord, allow me to recognize your presence even when I am facing trials or experiencing fear of the future.
Self reliance is devastating…we have no control over anything in this world. That is not so with God, He is sovereign, He is omnipotent, He is omnipresent, He is God. Since we cannot rely on ourselves, we MUST rely on Him. We must trust Him, believe Him, rest in Him, have faith in Him only. That is the ONLY path to peace…
Lord God, strengthen my hope so that I can trust you are at work…even while I am waiting! Carry out Your promise and save our kids…
This passage is such an encouragement reminding us all that Obedience is not just to hold down our sinful nature, but it is also the path to peace, blessing and success.
Lord, strengthen me to be obedient even in the smallest matter. I want every aspect of my life to be reflecting Your glory!
Who can say with confidence that everything they plan will be accomplished? Only a Sovereign God…this chapter God is declaring exactly that. He alone is unchanging, only He can bring about every purpose and singularly God can grant salvation.
How can we read Scripture and then have a small view of God? He desires that we know Him, see Him accurately and fear Him. He is not small, insignificant and silent like all the other tiny man made gods that we create in our imagination. Lord, help me to live in light of Your glory!
