Day 6: Remember His Glory

Psalm 66:1-2 “Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! Sing about the glory of His name! Tell the world how glorious He is.”

Devotional · · · We in our humanness are not able to fully see and understand God’s glory in all of His transcendent deity. The scriptures tell of Moses’ desire to see it and God’s response in revealing a “portion” of it, that being His goodness (Exodus 33). Our glorious God has revealed a glimpse of the same to us through His creation, His Word, and His Son. Remember also that He has called us into this eternal glory in Christ...we will someday experience it fully (I Peter 5:10)!

Prayer · · · Awesome God, I long to see in fullness the glory of Your being, and will keep my eyes and hope fixed on You for the day when we will all see You as You are in perfect clarity. My ultimate hope is to know You fully and be perfectly restored in the image of Christ in order to reflect Your glory. Lord, help me develop an appetite for the beauty of Your character and open the eyes of my heart to know Your glory more. I desire to proclaim Your glorious name through the worship of my individual life, and the expression of our collective life as a church.

Day 5: Remember His Grace

Ephesians 1:6-7 “So we praise God for the glorious grace He has poured out on us who belong to His dear Son. He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son and forgave our sins.”

Devotional · · · This undeserved favor we receive from God is a primary reason and motivator for our worship. Grace is something that reflects and expresses His very essence as a God of love, and we are the recipients of that blessing. It is humbling to receive it (from Him and from others), and requires humility and strength to give it. He is so extravagant in His grace! It is the showcase of His glory that will be on display for all eternity (Ephesians 2:5-7).

Prayer · · · Eternal Father, I am humbled and so thankful for your lavish grace poured on me through Christ. Though I am so undeserving of it, I do understand by faith that the flow is constant and unending. All I can do is thank You and worship You and glorify You and stand in awe of You...there is no way I could ever repay You! Your grace has not only saved me, but is also an active, present, transformative, and obedience-enabling power in my life. Lord, I look to Your Spirit to help me live in that grace every day, and generously give it to others.

Day 4: Remember His Creativity

Isaiah 42:5 “God, the Lord, created the heavens and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth.

Devotional · · · The more we probe into and discover of the natural world, the more awe and wonder our human race experiences. What are our finite minds to think of an eternal Being outside the realm of time, bringing into existence every reality from the infinite, distant cosmos all the way down to the subatomic particle! What a gift He has given us, His children made in His very image and the pinnacle of His creative order, to be able to experience the beauty and wonder of His creative work (Colossians 1:16).

Prayer · · · Amazing God, I am so inspired by the wonderful world You have made. I acknowledge You as creator and bow in worship and wonder at what You can do. We have a glimpse into Your glorious creativity as we behold with our limited minds an infinite range expressed in colors, plant life, animal life, human life, microscopic life, landscapes, oceans, the elements, the cosmos….O God, You are awesome! Thank You for the richness and beauty that I enjoy through the creative gifts in others, and the creativity I possess to share as well; help me reflect You in all that do, say, and create.
