SCRIPTURE: Tremble, earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob. – Psalm 114:7 (NIV)
JOYCE MEYER DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR SEPTEMBER 27, 2023
God is great and mighty, and we should tremble in His presence not because we are afraid of Him, but in reverence and awe, realizing how powerful He is. When I am invited to go to a church to minister the Word of God, I have a reverential fear of the pastor, and I want to be respectful. I do what I am asked to do and stick to the time frame I am given. I know the pastor has the power to either invite me back or never ask me again. Having a reverential fear of God means that we obey Him and want to please Him because we know that He has the power to bless our lives or to remove blessings if He so chooses.
It seems to me that few Christians have, or even understand, the fear of the Lord. The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10 NIV). It also speaks of perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2 Corinthians 7:1 NASB). God has called us to live holy lives, but we can’t do so without the reverential fear of Him.
God is great, and He wants to show His greatness in your life, but it’s important to remember to ask Him to do so. As James 4:2 says, You do not have because you do not ask God. Go to God’s throne boldly and ask Him for more than you think is possible, remembering that all things are possible with Him (Matthew 19:26 NIV).
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for all You have done in my life. I ask You to do great things, and I also ask that You help me increase in holy living and teach me to reverently fear You.
