VERSE:
For our God is a consuming fire.
-- Hebrews 12:29
http://www.SearchGodsWord.org/desk/?query=Hebrews+12:29&translation=kjv
THOUGHT:
We should worship God with reverence because he is a consuming
fire! Mmm. What does that mean? Is the focus on his holiness? Does
this warn of judgment? Is this an expression of his purity? Yes,
YES, YES! You see, God is holy and pure and righteous. Our
imperfections, flaws, failures, and sins stand out glaringly in
comparison to his perfection. Yet, rather than destroying us with
his holy fire, he can make us new and clean and more than what we
once were. So not only can we draw near to him because of Jesus, we
can stay near him as we live Jesus' life in our world (see Hebrews
13). That, dear friend, is reverential worship at its finest!
PRAYER:
Righteous and holy God, please forgive me for my sin, my lack of
boldness, and my unexercised faith. Thank you for not compromising
your holiness, but, instead, sacrificing your Son to perfect and
purify me by your grace so I can come before you. As I live this
week, may your holiness be exalted by my conduct and reflected in
my character. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, my Lord and
Savior. Amen.
