When I consider how marvelous GOD—The One True & Living God, Creator of the Universe and all that is in it—truly is, I am overwhelmed by His greatness and His majesty!
When I focus on the truth of who God is, my frustration about the temporal is completely removed, and my heart is stirred to consider GOD, and GOD only.
He is my Creator, Redeemer, Counselor, Healer, Comforter, Keeper, Security, Protector, Peace, Joy, and so much more! He is my Sovereign King and Lord!
Consider these words from Job about GOD: “He stretches out the north over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.” (Job 26:7 NAS)
GOD, JEHOVAH, does not require support nor affirmation. He set the sun, moon, stars, and planets into place, and their orbits into motion. He set the laws of nature, tides, and seasons. HE is all-sufficient, in and of Himself.
He is love. He is righteousness. He is justice and judge of all creation.
Therefore, God is all the support and affirmation we need. When we choose to follow Him, we choose to walk with Him rather than against Him. We choose to abide by the Law He sets forth rather than rebel against it. Being with Him, we are able to see how He walks alongside us and has His hand upon our lives.
Because of this, because of who HE is, HE is worthy of all our worship and praise.
May I choose always, by my spirit and in action, to praise Him with my whole heart! May I choose always, by my spirit and in action, to worship Him with all that I am! May I choose always, by my spirit and in action, to be in service to Him …
… All For His Glory!
