Reverence and Awe

» Today's reading at Blue Letter Bible
God's omnipotence and faithfulness reassure us that nothing is impossible for Him. When I contemplate the universe that God measured with the span of His hand, I am amazed! As the Psalmist said, "It is high I cannot contain it, such knowledge is too wonderful for me!" Spurgeon challenges us to consider "While He is able to uphold the universe, do not dream that He will prove unable to fulfill His own promises". "Will He who created the world grow weary?" "He hangs the world on nothing, will He be unable to support His children?" I am blessed by the fact that I'm called His child and the boundless reservoir of His Grace can never be exhausted and the overflowing storehouse of His strength can never be emptied or plundered.

I know that I am His child because His Word says "to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God". "Christ appeared as my shepherd; I received Him; I believed Him; I trust Him. I'm prepared to follow Him and the infallible mark of my regeneration and adoption is the faith I have in my appointed Redeemer. "Nothing can separate us from the Love of God which is in Christ Jesus, my Lord." My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus and His righteousness. On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand. I'm confident that what Jesus says He will do; He will do!
