January 23, 2013 Majesty

Read Job 39 Majesty Job 39:26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread his wings toward the south? 27 Does the eagle soar at your command and build his nest on high? 28 He dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is his stronghold.” I HOPE you take some time to read Job 38 – 39. (You can click on this link http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job+38&version=NIV if you don’t have a Bible near you.) There are many ways in the Holy Scriptures that God reminds mankind he is the majestic Creator. Through floods and plagues to judge, through miracles and prophets to save, through His resurrection from the grave and in his promise to come again, God acts in his majestic power to show he has the power and will to save you. Now God comes to Job, the man in distress, and in essence He tells Job to stop and remember that all the majesty of the animals, the sea and the weather are from His hand. God dramatically challenges Job to guard his words because Job’s life is in God’s majestic hands. Are you aware that God’s majesty is for your life? When you are distressed or wonder, “What’s next?” do you consider how wonderful and freeing it is to turn to the majestic God who has so creatively formed the universe? As you consider that you are in God’s majestic hands, speak to Him with words of repentance and submission. Offer to Him your worship. Then see how your life will change when you truly consider, “God’s majesty has formed me.” It’s True! The Lord’s majesty is all around you, even in the mirror.
