Reflecting on the Majesty and Glory of the Triune God – Sabbath Devotional – December 29, 2023
It was very saddening and disappointing to read the advice given to a new believer on a recent IG post. The majority did not speak about God's love, majesty, power, grace, and abundant mercies. Instead, they gave many warnings about Satan's power.
Ephesians chapter 6 tells us that spiritual warfare is real and we must stay faithful and armor ourselves through prayer and studying the word of God. Still, From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is filled with countless examples of God's love and divine intervention for those created in His image.
Has Christianity declined to the point that our focus is on Satan and the fear of spiritual warfare instead of the love of God and the Omnipotence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?
We should never give credence to any power in heaven or earth above the Triune God. If so, we are not fully committed to God and need a revival of our love for Christ. As believers, we face constant battles [internal and external], which is the reason the Apostle Paul emphasized putting on the full armor of God along with maintaining unity and fellowship in the Christian community.
"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6
We hear and share a lot of non-essential information. Nothing compares to the gospel message of Jesus Christ. By witnessing, we can fight against the trending belief that Satan is more powerful than God. Witnessing is easily accomplished with the use of technology. Use social media to share Scriptures revealing God's powerful love and faithfulness to humanity.
Many who are desperately seeking peace have not heard the message of a loving and powerful Savior who specializes in new beginnings. Living in perilous times requires that we also think of those who are living hopelessly in this dark world. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Share the gospel of Jesus Christ!
"Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name: Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know." —Jeremiah 33:2-3
How well do you know God's character? We will lose interest in God if we only have a minimal understanding of Him. From dedicating time to studying the Scriptures, God becomes real to us. The Holy Spirit, our teacher, gives us a deep understanding of God's power and majesty, as well as the spiritual strength to live a holy life.
Our preparation for eternal life begins in our earthly lives. Worshiping God is the reason we were created. We serve a loving Father who patiently waits to commune with us. Persevere in prayer! Let your prayers be specific—pray for guidance, wisdom, and discernment from the Holy Spirit.
With faithful dedication, you will rejoice in your experiential knowledge of an awesome God to whom you will readily give all of your honor, glory, and praise, and share His goodness with others.
Prayer: God, we pray for a revival in our hearts that we will seek and abide in You. We ask You to reveal Your plan and give us guidance in using our spiritual gifts to witness. In Jesus' Holy Name, we pray, Amen.
