We read Psalm 33 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. Look at verses 6-9:
6 By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all their host by the breath of His mouth. 7 He gathers the waters of the sea as in a bottle; He puts the deeps in storage places. 8 Let all the earth fear the Lord [revere and worship Him]; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
I LOVE this! The instruction is given to the entire earth to fear (revere and worship) the Lord and to stand in awe of Him! He is the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible! The God of all creation! The God of our Salvation! He warrants our complete worship, devotion and allegiance even if He had never done anything for us personally because HE IS! But then we see what He will do for those who DO put Him first place! Verses 18-22:
18 Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness, 19 To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. 20 Our inner selves wait [earnestly] for the Lord; He is our Help and our Shield. 21 For in Him does our heart rejoice, because we have trusted (relied on and been confident) in His holy name. 22 Let Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, be upon us, in proportion to our waiting and hoping for You.
AMEN! While you Worship together today, meditate on this AWESOME GOD Who loves us with His everlasting, all-consuming, never failing LOVE! Then sing THIS song, by Hillsong, called "What A Beautiful Name":
Shalom in Him!
