Sometimes we need to slow down in our lives and take some time to just be with God, alone. We need to stand in awe of God, and we need to each have a personal reason for why we are thankful to Him. God doesn’t want our sacrifices if He really doesn’t mean that much to us in the end. In our lives, we should overall choose to live in awe of God and be motivated to love Him deeply above everything else. Above all else, God wants our hearts, and all of our hearts at that! So open your eyes to the world around you. Wake up and smell the coffee. What has God done in your life that is worthy of praise? Believe me, if you think and pray about it enough, you will definitely in time be able to give many reasons for why you are thankful to God.
I Stand In Awe
You are beautiful beyond description Too marvelous for words.Too wonderful for comprehension Like nothing ever seen or heard.Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom?Who can fathom the depth of Your love?You are beautiful beyond description Majesty enthroned above.
Chorus: And I stand, I stand in awe of You I stand, I stand in awe of You Holy God to whom all praise is due I stand in awe of You.
We should only do those things if we are doing them out of our awe and praise for God. God smiles at sacrifices that come out of truly thankful hearts, but it really does not please Him when we do things for Him only out of a heart that feels like it must do things for Him to be accepted into His embrace. That is not a good reason to serve God. So, in the next week, ask yourself this: Why do you serve God? What are truly thankful for that God has done/given you in your life? Could you honestly say that you serve God out of a heart of love for and awe of Him?
