His Majesty!

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.~Isaiah 6:1

Majesty! Sovereign King! Lord of lords! Savior!  Father! 

God is all of these things and so much more.  I could never expound on all that He for He is God!  He is the Creator of all things and His awesome majesty fills the temple.  Yet, so often I find myself become too comfortable with God. 

Every morning I wake up and spend some quiet time with God.  It sets my day and ushers in His peace. But if I am not careful it becomes a routine rather than the natural manifestation of my character that is being shaped by His Spirit.  Instead a transformation of my heart and a renewing of my mind it can subtly become more of a religious ritual where I simply pour out my heart to Him, but fail to pause and hear His response.  I fail to let Him lead me as my Great Shepherd.  I don’t pause just to absorb the awesomeness of Who He is as Lord.

Every day that God blesses me to open my eyes to new possibilities and mercies.  Each day He gives me my daily bread to live life to the full.  There are so many blessings that if I am not careful will escape me and I begin to have an expectant attitude rather a heart of gratitude.  There is a big difference between knowing and being thankful that you have an awesome Father who sees to your needs than thinking you somehow deserve it or just being blasé about the blessings.

I think it is so crucial to step back and look upon our Lord with the reverence and awe that is due Him.  He lets us get a glimpse of His glory.  He lets me, a person with unclean lips, stand before Him ( Isaiah 6:5) because He has made provision to atone for my sins through the shed blood of Jesus.  The stone that touched the lips of Isaiah(Isaiah 6:7) has touched me for Jesus is that rock (Ephesians 2:20).  That alone should keep me prostrated before Him.

I know that God loves the time that I spend with Him, but I must see as He is..... lifted and exalted.  He is above all and He is seated on His throne.  Just saying these words quickens my spirit.  My Father fills all things.  He is King and He is in control.  He is God and Lord.  He is my everything and He is to be worshipped.  He is my Majesty!  

Lord, I thank You for being my King.  I thank You for being King of kings.  Thank You for allowing me enter into your presence and get a glimpse of glory.  Thank You for your blood that stones for my sins. Forgive me for those times when I get so busy doing that I don’t pause to reverence you as my Lord and King,   Keep my heart humble Lord and keep my eyes on you.  In Jesus name I do pray. Amen
