Read this devotion this morning from "Jesus Calling" for October 1st. I'm a day off but I thought it was beautiful for this Lord's day.
Worship Me only. I am King of kings and Lord of lords, dwelling in
unapproachable Light. I am taking care of you! I am not only committed
to caring for you, but I am also absolutely capable of doing so. Rest
in Me, My weary one, for this a form of worship.
Though self-flagellation has gone out of style, many of My children
drive themselves like racehorses. They whip themselves into action,
ignoring how exhausted they are. They forget that I am sovereign and
that My ways are higher than theirs...
My invitation never changes: Come to Me, all you who are weary, and I
will give you rest. Worship Me by resting peacefully in My Presence.
1 Timothy 6:15-16; Isaiah 55:8-9; Revelation 2:4; Matthew 11:28
While I am posting, I thought I'd add a song that has really been ministering to me as of late.
Majesty by Delirious
Here I am humbled by Your Majesty,
Covered by Your grace oh friend.
Here I am knowing I'm a sinful man,
Covered by the blood of the Lamb.
Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice.
Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in Your hands.
Here I am humbled by the love that You give,
Forgiven so that I can forgive.
So here I stand,
Knowing that I am Your desire,
Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrife.
Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
Empty handed but alive in your hands.
Singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the presence of Your Majesty.
Majesty.
We're singing Majesty, Majesty.
Your grace has found me just as I am,
And I'm nothing but alive in Your hands.
We're singing Majesty, Majesty.
Forever I am changed by Your love,
In the beauty of Your Majesty.
Majesty.
this song makes me cry every time. i love the picture of "resting peacefully in [His] presence"- thanks for sharing this!
