Majesty

June 10th – Psalm 16:11

Psalm 16:11

A.W. Tozer once said, “Nothing in or of this world measures up to the simple pleasure of experiencing the presence of God.” There is great joy to be found in the Lord’s love and guidance, which renews our spirit and uplifts our hearts. To experience this joy we can engage in daily practices such as prayer, which allows us to communicate with God and draw near to Him. Worship, through singing and praise, connects our hearts to God’s greatness and goodness. Reading the Bible helps us understand His will and promises, bringing His presence into our lives. Fellowship with other believers can also enhance our sense of God’s presence, as we encourage and support each other in faith. Spending time in nature, admiring God’s creation, can remind us of His majesty and nearness. And practicing gratitude daily shifts our focus to God’s blessings, fostering a joyful heart. By incorporating these practices, we cultivate a continual awareness of God’s presence, allowing His joy to fill and sustain us through every circumstance.

December 6th – Luke 2:7

Luke 2:7

I love the saying that true greatness is not found in majesty, but in the tender embrace of humility. In the quiet humbleness of the manger, we see that the mightiest of miracles often unfolds in the gentlest of places. That’s why Christmas is all about humility. Mary and Joseph found themselves in a humble stable, welcoming the Savior into the world. The King of Kings, born not in a palace,  but in a feeding trough, reflects a profound humility that marks the heart of Christ’s mission. In this modest setting, the Creator of the universe enters humanity with an unparalleled humility. Demonstrating to the world that true greatness lies in selfless service and a willingness to embrace the lowliest of circumstances. The humility of Jesus at Christmas is a powerful reminder that God often reveals Himself in the most unassuming moments. This invites us to approach the festivities with a spirit of humility and gratitude for the love and joy brought forth in the humblest of beginnings.

February 11th – 2 Corinthians 8:7

2 Corinthians 8:7

Love isn’t only something we feel, love is also something we do. It isn’t enough just to have a desire to help others. Out of the abundant grace given to us through Jesus, we need to put that love into action. Not only to glorify God, but also as proof of our sincerity for the Lord. (2 Cor. 8:8) There is no greater example of love in action than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Willingly, out of His great love, He left behind the treasures, power, and majesty of heaven. And because of His sacrifice on the Cross, giving His life for ours, we as Christians are now heirs to His great kingdom. One day very soon our Savior will return to take us to that kingdom where we will dwell and reign with Him forever! Yet right up until the minute we hear Him call us home, we are to put our love in action. Demonstrating to a lost and hurting world the great love shown to us. And abounding in the most excellent grace of giving.

Who Is Like You O Lord – Exodus 15:6-11

Exodus 15:6-11

Whenever I would read about the early Israelites, I used to feel a pang of jealousy. After all, they had God in their midst. They encountered first hand His wonders and signs. And they were constantly in His presence as He both provided and traveled with them. Oh how I wished I too could have been on that journey. And so I never understood how, when presented with the opportunity to actually hear God speak at Mt. Sinai, they turned away in fear. But that was before I experienced the worst thunderstorm I can remember. …
