Today’s Scripture: My covenant with him was one of life and peace, and I gave them to him. It was a covenant of fear, and he feared me. He stood in awe of my name. Malachi 2:5 ESV
God made this covenant with Levi. It has been passed on to us so we too can know the life and peace of God. Do you know it?
I have found life and peace in fearing God. I have also come to know awe. After another amazing experience with the LORD, I questioned when I would no longer be amazed. I found that I am there.
I am no longer amazed at God; I now stand in awe of Him. I know He has kept His covenant with me and shown Himself so many times that I am no longer amazed.
Our awesome God has given us His Spirit to guard our hearts. When we are faithful to fear God in our spirit, we find awe. The fear I am speaking of is a loving reverence with awe, and great respect. It is here we find life, peace and awe.
Today’s Prayer: Almighty God, I stand in awe of You. Thank You for Your covenant and Your love. Forgive me LORD when I turn from the way You have given me. You are faithful and I ask You and Your Spirit to help me to remain faithful to fear only You and to stand in awe. In You I find life and peace. Amen
