A Devoted Heart

My beloved friends of “A Devoted Heart”,

     I pray you are well and are seeing God more in your prayer life.  Our next Bible study will be on April 3^rd, where will be continuing our study on the Lord’s prayer and looking deeper into what Jesus meant when he said, “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven”

     Until we meet again, I wanted to share this devotional reading below as an extension of our last study “Our Father, Who Art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name”

 Our Awesome God

     In our culture, God’s name is oftentimes mentioned with little reverence. In fact, many people actually use it as a curse. Even among those who love Him, it is far too common to use His name casually, without taking time to ponder who He is. When you say a blessing at mealtimes, for instance, do you realize that you are talking to the almighty Creator God who rules over all things?

     Our view of the Lord impacts three areas of life. First, it affects our prayers. As we come to know Him better and better, our desires will start to look like His goals for us, and our petitions will align more closely with His purposes. Furthermore, as we recognize His greatness and power, we’ll become more confident that He can accomplish mighty things—and we will venture to “pray big.”

     Second, our understanding of His righteousness and goodness influences our behavior. If God has these attributes, surely it is in our best interest to obey gladly. We will desire righteousness and be quick to repent of sin.

     Third, our faith is impacted. Grasping that Jesus is holy, good, and powerful grows our trust in Him. Knowing our awesome God and remembering His great works will further build our confidence in Him.

     Do you personally know our loving and holy heavenly Father? He invites you into an intimate relationship with Him. But, as with any good friendship, time and intentionality are necessary to understand Him and learn His ways. The more you do that, the more your prayers, behavior, and faith will be impacted.

 See you on April 3^rd.  Blessings in the name of our Lord and Savior!

For His Glory alone,

Helena and Christian
