Fear the Lord your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name. He is the one you praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.
What do you find yourself holding onto most often? What is your source of security, reassurance, hope, and stability in what frequently feels like troubled and perilous times? What do you encourage folks to do, and who do you encourage them to hold onto during their times of trouble? We humbly reverence God with a loving and holy fear that respects him for the many ways he has delivered us in the past and will deliver us in the future. One way we do this is in reverent praise that points our heart to him and takes our eyes off our troubles!
My Prayer...
Dear God and Abba Father, please be with several people we each know who are undergoing trials and temptations. Use us to bless them and encourage them. Please uphold them with your powerful hand. Finally, dear Father, strengthen and empower them to hold on to you through life's storms. In Jesus' name, we reverence you and enter your presence to find your grace. Amen.
