Hebrews 12:[28] Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
We need to be careful how we approach the throne of God. He is not to be taken lightly or labelled as anything less than the mighty, Holy One that He is.
Look at the earth, the human body, the Bible, ALL creation.... Who made that? Who made you?
He is Master, Maker, King, Marvelous, Healer, Savior, etc.
He is not "the big man upstairs", "the big guy", or any other name that can be used. I know we get into habits and sometimes lose sight of the greater things, but God is to be approached with reverence, fear, honor, awe, and respect.
Psalms 86:[11] Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name
Let us remember the great big wonderful God that He is next time we pray or talk about Him to others.
Psalms 89:[7] God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
It is still okay to talk to Him as your "best friend" and to tell Him your troubles. We can approach Him anywhere at anytime. He is always with us and we can depend on Him for anything. We should feel comfortable in telling Him anything. We should allow Him into the secret places of our hearts. The only thing I am trying to portray in this devotion is that God is still God. He is still all powerful and almighty and we should never forget that or treat Him any less.
Lord, forgive me when I don't pay the honor due Your name. Help me to realize the power and majesty of Your being and to treat You as such.
