In the presence of a holy God
As I sank into the sofa of my living room, memory after memory pushed itself up like bubbles surfacing in the water till I could hold it no more. 'All this while, You've been holding me steady Lord. Through the storms, the darkest hours, You held me steady Lord. And You showed me so much grace I just don't deserve it'. The tears were flowing freely now.
''You're proved righteous when You judge Lord.
You're proved loving when You comfort.
You're proved gracious when You forgive Lord.
You're proved compassionate when You console.
You're proved Almighty when You deliver.
You're proved faithful when You promise.
And to whom do You prove yourself to?
To me, even me, who is so small and undeserving of Your notice.
Why do You even subject Yourself to all kinds of hurt just to prove Yourself to me?
I know that I'll forever need You to hold me steady, as long as I live.
No matter what You call me to do, I know I'll stumble and fall.
Only Your grace is sufficient for me.'
Sometimes the Word of God just proves itself relevant in our lives. The sacrifices of God are a contrite spirit and a broken heart. These He will not despise. Are you ready to taste and see that the Lord is good?
