I reverence you
“JEHOVAH El ELOHIM”
(The Lord God of Gods - Joshua 22:22)
“As the deer pants for flowing streams, so my soul pants for you, O God.“
Psalm 42:1
Read Joshua 22 & Psalm 42
Lord, as I reverence you today - I am aware of the fact that diabolical plots, plans and schemes have been emitted from the kingdom of darkness in an attempt to lessen my allegiance to you. In this dimension, I must therefore continue to create an immutable foundation, which possesses the necessary components, upon which I will maintain a stable platform. It is essential therefore, if I am going to excel in the intensity of my reverence for you, then …………...
I MUST “P.A.N.T.” -
P - Position & Pour - (Psalm 31:5)
Position myself to be used of God; as well as to engage in the continual process of pouring out of myself before the Lord; then He will Pour back into me….and I will be equipped to Pour into others.
A - Align - (Proverbs 3:5; Psalm 51)
Align my entire being (inclusive of my thoughts, actions and motives) to the obedience of God; thus availing me the opportunity to be the recipient of everything that God has decreed for ME.
N - Nourish - (II Timothy 2:15)
Discipline myself to the concept of “daily” nourishing my spirit man by the studying God’s Word and the APPLICATION of the same.
T - Turn - (Psalm 101:5; 2 Timothy 2:22)
Turn away from any and everything that doesn't assist in the growth, advancement, or the maintenance of my entire being. I must never forget that every good thing is not a God ordained thing… at this time. Remember seasons change. Would you wear just a swimming suit to shovel snow? Sounds crazy? Well, we are modeling the same when we are not using the correct tools in their proper season!
Conclusion
Our reverence for the Lord must excel our love and admiration for everything and everyone else…… Lord may I NEVER lose that yearning for you that will cause me to P.A.N.T. after you.
As The Deer (Martin Nystrom)
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee
You're my friend and You are my brother,
Even though you are a king.
I love you more than any other,
So much more than anything.
I want You more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy Giver,
And the apple of my eye.
Chorus
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship thee
