For no other foundation can anyone lay than
that which is laid,
which is Jesus the Messiah.

2 Corinthians 5:9-11 |
2 Corinthians 5:9-11
9 Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be
well pleasing to Him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment
seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the
body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. 11
Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we
are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your
consciences. |
Father, help me to know your terror…help me to see
the absolute finality and wisdom of your judgments. Help me Father
to live a life well pleasing to you. Father, grant me to be filled
with the awe and terror of your Majesty… let the very dread of You
grip my heart.
Let me not live in fear that would cause me to shrink back or turn
away from your Father. Let me be in fear that is based on Your love
and Your absolute commitment to me—that you will never abandon me or
leave me. Give me an AWE of your wonder and majesty… your marvelous
glory… the very sense of Your awesome majesty. Let it seal my heart
Father, that I may always walk in your ways and obey your Word.
Let the thought of standing before you one day my Lord cause LOVE to
be birthed in my heart… love for your ways and love for you kingdom
… love for the lost and love for your people … lead me Father to
LOVE the things that you LOVE, to want the things that you WANT, to
desire the things that you DESIRE, to hate the things that you HATE.
Let my life be lived in this body for your glory, for your purpose,
for your reward, for your pleasure.
Fill me O Lord with your very pleasure--- pleasure that you have
when you think of me as an obedient child. Pleasure that you have
even in my weakness and failures… let your emotions fill me and move
me to live my life only for your enjoyment. Let me so be filled and
consumed by your beauty and pleasure…let me drink from the very
river of your pleasure and be filled with your awesome might.
Let your terror cause me to persuade men of your judgments and their
need to be reconciled to you. Father, let the majesty of your glory
fill me—the Spirit of the Fear and Awe of the LORD.
Let it be so!
