God’s blessings are conditional
The prevailing culture in the world today is to do what feels right for you.
Rules are only relevant for you if you choose them to be, but are subject to change with our current mood.
We have seen dangerous patterns stir throughout the body of Christ before, so we are no stranger to the work of the enemy among us.
It is time that we stand with the banner of holiness and declare to the world that there is a standard that God has set forth for His children to walk in.
Not everyone agrees that the standard is set by God Himself and not our interpretation of it.
The blessings that we long for, that we hunger for, are conditional upon our reverence to a Holy God.
When you approach Him, how do you go about it?
Do you not feel a sense of awe at the greatness of His majesty?
Do you long to have a greater awareness of who He truly is?
God is not limited to our clumsy formation of His likeness in our minds, but He is gracious in revealing Himself to the humble.
Why is this such a big deal?
Because keeping God in His rightful place allows us to be elevated to Him and out of our problems.
If we try to make God less than He truly is and pull Him down to our level, then our mental construct envisions a limited God with limited power.
We need to refrain from any thought that makes God manageable.
The characteristics of reverence
Wisdom is based on reverence for God
See also Pr 1:7; Pr 9:10
Never Ending Reverence
Jesus Modeled Reverence for the Father
God responds to those who revere him
There are many that believe that they are friends with God, but their behaviors suggest otherwise.
We must allow the Word of God be our guide in these matters.
Reverence brings God’s special attention and compassion
Ne 1:11; Ps 33:18; Ps 103:13; Ps 103:17; Ps 145:19; Lk 1:50
God is good to those who revere him
Ps 31:19; Is 33:6
Reverence brings God’s protection and deliverance
Ps 34:7; Ps 60:4; Ps 115:11; Pr 14:26
God meets the needs of those who revere him
Ex 1:21; Ps 34:9; Ps 111:5; Je 5:24–25
Reverence for God is rewarded
God rewards the reverent with prosperity
See also Job 1:9; Ps 25:12–13; Ps 85:9; Ps 112:1; Ps 128:4; Pr 22:4; Mal 4:2
Those who revere God avoid his judgment
God rewards reverence with long life and future hope
Pr 10:27; Pr 14:27; Pr 19:23; Pr 23:17–18; Ec 8:13
The verse following this says that man cannot know God’s ways.
In other words, we cannot fathom how big, how magnificent, how holy, how gracious, how wonderful, how giving, how loving, how powerful and almighty He truly is with the natural mind.
God is here to reveal Himself to you this morning, He wants you to stop straining at your own thoughts and just allow Him to show you as you simply ask for this truth to break open within your own spirit today.
I promise you the newness of God is a new thing everyday if you will hear this morning.
It is not His intention to bring sorrow except to grieve for, carry a burden for those that have not opened their hearts to holding the Lord Most High in His rightful place.
Instead of rejoicing in what we can do, He wants us to rejoice in what He can do through us.
The possibilities are limitless with God, but few in our own strength.
