Driving home
last night from the store and the snow had fallen fresh. A layer of snow blanketed the ground, car
tops and the barren trees. Simply
beautiful! I got out of my car and
snapped this picture and took a moment to take it all in – the pure, fresh,
untouched snow, the crisp, winter air, the silence and serene of night…. The street lights cast an enchanting glow upon
the snow giving it the illusion of a glittery landscape. And in that moment, I could do nothing but
worship Him…..
“Therefore
let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let
us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe.” Hebrews 12:28
How blessed
are we to inherit the unshakeable kingdom of God! Truly we serve an AWESOME God! When we stop to not only notice but
appreciate the blood-orange rays of sun streaking across the sky or the enchantment
of a freshly, fallen glittery snow scape, we are displaying reverence to
God. What is acceptable worship with
reverence and awe? We show God
reverence with the sincerity of our uninhibited worship; we show God reverence
when we stand humble in His presence, but worship Him with our whole heart! It
is worship that comes from a place of being both amazed and inspired by the
might, the love, the goodness and the beauty of God. We could choose to whine and complain about
the harsh elements we experience with each season – those things we think will break
us. But instead, let us choose to revere
God for showing us the beauty of each season both in nature and in our everyday
lives. Thank God for the inheritance of
His unshakeable kingdom.
PRAYER OF RESTORATION:
Lord, I love you! I adore
you! I worship your holy name! Thank you God for the beauty of this day –
for the rising of your golden sun and the enchantment of glittery stars set
against a midnight sky. Lord, I bow down
before you in awe of your glory. Help me
to appreciate every aspect of the seasons of my life. Amen
