Honour the Lord

29 August 2012     

Psalms 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth.

When we look up at the heavens and stand amazed at the magnitude of the universe, and we realise how small and insignificant we are in all of creation, we then need to stop and think. The LORD placed the galaxies in their place, in perfect order and He gave us on this small planet Earth His Word, He gave us Himself. He placed you and I on this earth to do those things that are right and pleasing to Him. For us to love those things that He loves and to do those things that pleases Him.

When we believe that we can do what pleases us and disregard what pleases the LORD then we cannot expect the LORD to be pleased with us. The LORD made us in His image and when we sin we distort that image, and the world sees that distorted image and is deceived by sin into believing the distortion rather than His Word. We need to stop, look up and see the greatness of the LORD in His created heavens, repent and fall down before the LORD, begging His mercy for our arrogance and pride. Honour the LORD by doing what is righteous in His sight, be obedient to His Word, living a life which is worthy of His image, not our own.

Be encouraged today to honour the LORD in all you do, and teach.

 

David
