Day 14 Amazing God

Read

1 Chronicles 29:10-11
Therefore David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: "Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.

Reflect

"You're a child of God. You're the light of this world. You're worthy and beautifully made. You have Christ. You are loved and accepted."

We really love reading those blogs that says something about our worth, especially when they start with "You are..." Do you know what that means? Even if you include God in those pleasing statements, in the end, you are really just about yourself.

Most of the time you are too busy thinking about what you will receive from God and what He can do in you, that you already forget to honor Him and do what pleases Him. It become a relationship with benefits, and you're the recipient. You barely meditate on how overwhelming He is without painting yourself at the center of the canvas, just to focus at His goodness without you at the picture.

Truth be told, a lot of times that you only realize God's power when you are so pleased with what He gave you. Don't deny it, you've been thinking about yourself more often. We all have been, because that's our nature

How about God? Surely, He doesn't need you, but He is more worthy to receive honor and praise than you receiving His blessings.

Try to get yourself out of the picture. Take a pause for a minute or two and think about how God orchestrated the universe. About how amazing He is in creating every creature and putting personalities in them. About how the situations are never a coincidence because of Him. Meditate about how He has saved you from sin.

No, it's not about you receiving His grace, it's about Him capable of loving an entitled, self-centered creature.

How about you? You're only painted on the corners of the canvas, giving way, and pointing every praise to God, and doing things to glorify Him. You will delight and be joyful with the identity that He placed in you, yet ultimately, take it and point it all towards Him, knowing that it is never about you but Him.

Respond

How can you glorify God today? What can you do to point every blessing you have to His greatness?

Take a break and just ponder on the goodness and greatness of the Lord who created the universe and every nerve in your body.
