There is a special moment of worship that happens occasionally where I sense so strongly the presence of God that all the troubles of the world disappear. I don’t have a care in the world except the glory of God. I call it a sacred place…for a sacred moment… It doesn’t last long, but it lasts long enough that it changes me in that moment! It certainly renews my faith and strengthens me for the journey of life.
I’ll be honest, it doesn’t happen as often as I would like, but it happened twice this week.
It doesn’t seem to be something I can plan. If it were, I’d stay in that place and moment, but I’ve discovered there are a few things that might trigger such a time:
Okay, let me be honest…I’m not sure the title of this post is theologically sound. I don’t know if we can “break God’s heart”. His heart appears fairly strong to me. He carries the weight of the world on His shoulders, so I’m assuming He can handle most anything we throw His way. I did want you to read the post though, and I do think there is an illustration here that is important for us to consider.
Our youngest son Nate is studying in Europe this summer. (You can read more about his experiences HERE.) For the last couple of years, he has attended school 8 hours away, so the distance is not so much an issue, although it is summer and I wish he were home. The problem for me now is the way we ended our instant messaging today. He will not have Internet for the next 5 days, so I’ll not have any correspondance from him for nearly a week.
I realize 5 days is a short time for many. I sometimes only talk to my mother once a week, but I’m new at this empty nesting. Five days seems like forever right now.
But, there’s a bigger issue that came to my mind…
For several weeks of Scripture memory, I’m walking through what’s been referred to as “The Roman Road”; a comprehensive look at what it means to be a follower of Christ through the book of Romans. You can see last week’s HERE. (It’s important to go with this weeks!)
Here is this week’s memory verse:
Will you commit this verse to memory this week?
Tweet This is a recap of a devotional series I did some time ago on Jeremiah 18. Jeremiah 18, Part 1 Jeremiah 18, Part 2 Jeremiah 18, Part 3 Jeremiah…
Jehoshaphat was a great king, because he followed the ways of God. In an incredible example of humility, Jehoshaphat was willing to admit, in front of the people he was leading, that he didn’t have all the answers.
When facing a powerful rival nation, Jehoshaphat prayed a prayer. This week’s memory verse comes from that prayer.
Here is this week’s memory verse:
Someone needs to read this…
I sense it…
The Psalmist wrote:
Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable?
Has his steadfast love forever ceased?
Are his promises at an end for all time?
Has God forgotten to be gracious?
Has he in anger shut up his compassion?
(Psalm 77:7-9)
Have you ever felt like this before?
Have you ever been curious about the 10 Commandments, specifically how we can implement them into our life today? A couple years ago, I wrote a series about each one.
Here’s a repost of all of them together:
Don’t let the title of this post upset you just yet…
God is fully God.
There’s no way to describe the greatness, majesty, holiness, perfection, bigness of God…
You could spend eternity…and will…trying to figure God out completely or fully comprehend the depths of His love, power, and grace.
But I wonder sometimes…
If you are following this series of Scripture memory verses, I hope they are making a difference in your life. Isn’t that the end goal of God’s Word?
This week’s verse, if we truly applied it to our life, and practiced it, could change all we are this week.
