HIS Awesome Presence

-
Hello friends! Today's topic will be about the awesome presence of GOD! 

When I say awesome I do not mean rad like this emoji:😎
Awesome is a word I got convicted of not saying many years ago. I realized how much I abused that word! It does not mean rad or cool, in fact, it means something pretty different! 

Awesome. Awe some. It means you are in awe of something. That means it brings great fear and trembling yet beauty and wonder at the same time! The word is so powerful. You cannot explain awe. It is something that only happens before our LORD! 

Now that we have a better understanding of awesome, we will talk about the awesome presence of GOD! 

When we do not sit with GOD and spend time with HIM we will not feel HIS presence. That is why reading Scripture, studying it, memorizing it, journaling, praying, and worshiping HIM is so important! 

It is so easy to go about the day thinking its ours and just feel empty. Then we realize it is not and HE opens our eyes and we feel the presence of GOD! I read this verse in Genesis this morning about Jacob: 

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it."
17He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven." ~ Genesis 28:16-17 NIV
Here, we see that Jacob did not feel the presence of GOD. We do not know what his day looked like, but what we do know is that he just went to sleep. He was not aware of HIS presence for he did not spend time with GOD. 

When GOD showed HIMSELF to Jacob in a dream that is when Jacob felt HIS presence. He was in awe. It was when he encountered GOD he felt HIS presence. 

Friend, that is the same for us. If we want to feel HIS love, peace, grace, and presence we need to live HIS life!   

Praying that you will be in awe in HIS presence! 



Have a lovely day or night wherever you are!

For HIM,
~Sabina

A Joyful Season Through it All

“In your silent night, when you’re not alright, lift your eyes and behold HIM.” -Behold HIM by Francesca Battistelli Having an illness means that it doesn’t go away during special times in life. Still sick during the holidays. In fact, my illness has even been processing further during this season. But, even as I lay in bed with debilitating symptoms unable to live life, I can still have joy this Christmas season. Doing family worship every single day for advent (November 28-January 6) has been one of my most cherished memories these days. It is like a mini service every day with Scripture, prayer, meditations, creeds, catechism questions, and adorations! It has really set my mind to be excited on CHRIST. I’m so blessed, so blessed, y’all. Through the raw tears, through the unending pain, through my life spent in bed, through it all, I have an eternal joy in JESUS my LORD. HE holds me. I cannot express how grateful and joyful I am. Through the hard news, through the waiting, thro

Victorious Sacrifice!

Hello friends! Today's topic will be about how JESUS' last words on the cross were victorious!  When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit. ~ John 19:30 CSB The Greek word for "It is finished" is so powerful! It actually means that debt is paid! They used this word on writings whenever a debt was paid. JESUS' last word on the cross meant that our debt was paid. The word is so beautiful and strong.  Here is what Charles Spurgeon wrote about this word: "It is finished." There is only one Greek word for this utterance of our LORD, although to translate it into English, we have to use three words-an ocean of meaning in a drop of a language. Yet it would need all the other words ever spoken, or can ever be spoken, to explain this one word. It is altogether immeasurable. It is high-I can not attain it. It is deep-I can not fathom it. I always knew that "It is finished," was the end o

Every Human Heart Will Melt

Isaiah   13:6-7 [6] Wail, for the day of the LORD is near; as destruction from the Almighty it will come! [7] Therefore all hands will be feeble, and every human heart will melt.  "Every human heart will melt."      On the day of the LORD, every human heart will melt.  Just a simple thought that came to me about this statement was how we are given a new heart  when the LORD calls us. We were born with a heart of stone, and the LORD gave us a heart of flesh.        To think the heart of stone is what is going to melt on the day of descruction just reveals our Mighty GOD's glory! Just as the LORD taking our heart of stone and making it a heart of flesh reveals HIS glory, so does melting (destroying) the heart of stone.      If you still have a heart of stone, repent of your sins and look to JESUS and HE will give you a heart of flesh! Commit your life to the LORD and contnually repent!      If the LORD has already chosen you and given you a heart of flesh, rejoice! Praise H
