Reverence and Awe

» Today's reading at Blue Letter Bible


I'm reminded this morning of the importance of having our houses in order. I am all too often reminded of my sinfulness and pride when I ponder the Christ-like example I fail to portray so often in my house. It can be easier to live out the commandments of God and His word at our local church than in our own homes. I'm not exactly sure why that is... but I'm convicted this morning that it ought not to be. But how can I suddenly change the way my household is run and the example that I set to my family?

As a Church let us now draw nigh to the great head of the one Church universal, and let us beseech Him to give us grace to shine before men to the glory of His name.

Whether at church or at home... we desperately need grace... grace that is greater than our sin... grace that can cause us to glorify His great name.
