Psalm 97:10-12 You who love the Lord, hate evil! He protects the lives of his godly people and rescues them from the power of the wicked. Light shines on the godly and joy on those whose hearts are right. May all who are godly rejoice in the Lord, and praise his holy name!
If you’ve ever fainted you’ll know that you lose consciousness for a few moments and you’re no longer conscious of all the problems and panic that might be going on around you, or what caused you to faint in the first place!😊
I wonder, are we sometimes unconscious of God’s favour and protection? I expect we all have many things pressing in on us and we’re very conscious of them. The trouble is we can be so conscious of them we forget that they are temporary and that there are eternal things going on all the time in the background, in the spiritual realm, but we’re not being so ‘conscious’ of them.
Are we conscious of the God who is here with us, right now and He wants us to tune in to Him each day so we’re more aware of Him and His blessings, than we are of all the other stuff that’s trying to grab our attention?
The only way I’ve found to do that is to spend some time with Him, reading His promises that are blood bought by Jesus. Otherwise we can be so caught up in our daily circumstances that we can forget the truth found in them.
The Holy Spirit is calling us to bring our eyes back on our great and mighty God today, and declare His promises out loud over our lives so the enemy hears them as well!
Let’s thank the Lord and really rejoice because we’re becoming more and more conscious of God’s wonderful favour and protection as we think about them.
Anyone with me on this? May I encourage us to read today’s verses again and let God’s life giving words really sink in so His joy will begin to bubble up again.😊
