“My Hand Made All These Things”

my hand made all these things

“My hand made all these things
and brought them into being, says the Lord.
But here is where I will look:
to the humble and contrite in spirit,
those who tremble at my word.”

 

As God in Heaven proclaims what He did with the work of His hands He goes on to say, “but here is where I look: to the humble and contrite in spirit, those who tremble at my word.” I do not know about you but I want to know what God is looking for. After all the beauty and wonder of His creation He is still looking? I love this because it is reminding us that God’s eyes are moving to and fro watching for the one that will ALWAYS put Him and His Word first and reverently respond to what He says. He is looking for those that even when they mess up they will admit they are wrong, and receive His forgiveness. He is watching for the man and woman that desires to be humble and respect His Word above their own opinions and thoughts. 

 
 
 
Lord, help us be mindful of how awesome You are, and how the work of Your hands is beyond what we can comprehend.     You created the heavens and the earth.   You created us, and before we were even born, you knew every one of our days.   As we look at all the beautiful things that You have created, our hearts are in awe, yet you see something even more awesome than what Your hands have created, and that is the man or woman that respects your Word, and is humble and contrite in spirit.  Help us this day to be in pursuit of maintaining a humble heart before you, and a determination to love and respect your Word.   In Jesus Name!!!
