Psalm 31:19 “How great is the goodness you have stored up for those who fear you. You lavish it on those who come to you for protection, blessing them before the watching world.”
This verse just made me think of how amazing God is and what He did to show His love for us. When we truly realize what Jesus did for us we can truly open our hearts to God with reverent fear. Then we can surrender our will (what we think we desire) and focus on glorifying God with our actions.
In 1 Samuel 2:1 Hannah prays this; “My heart rejoices in the Lord! The Lord has made me strong. Now I have an answer for my enemies; I rejoice because you rescued me.”
Do we rejoice and give thanks to God for Him sending Jesus and rescuing us or do we forget and focus on the world? Hannah was rejoicing that the Lord would give her a son and then she dedicated him back to the Lord to serve Him. We need to rejoice daily for what the Lord has done and be thankful. Thankfulness is mostly shown by our actions not our lip service (My opinion). What are we doing to live out our faith and be a light to the world just as Jesus was? When we fear the Lord we focus on Him and wee seek him and a relationship is started.
Hannah says in verse 2, “No one is Holy like the Lord! There is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.”
Just think of this for a moment today, is God your “Rock” or are you trying it on your own?
Pray this prayer, Thank you Father for being my rock and sending your Son to be my example. Please fill me with the Spirit and His strength so I can totally lean not on my own strength but look up and know you are there. Amen
