“Blessed Assurance. Jesus is Mine.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood
.

Perfect submission, perfect delight
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above,
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.” (Fanny Crosby, 1873)

Introduction. Childlike faith, standing in awe and in wonder at the glory and the majesty of Almighty God.

Scripture Readings: Let all the Earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him! (Psalm 33:8, ESV)

All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. (John 1:3, ESV)

Astonishing emotions of love awaken in me. By the image of my Lord Jesus sitting among His “little ones.” Such personal and deep intimate emotions. Of pure and innocent and sweet love. As His children sit silently in awe and in wonder. Each child listening eagerly to every word spoken by their Lord, by their God. For Jesus is God the Son.

Every child sitting at the feet of Jesus. Recognize in his heart, his Lord’s divinity. As he sits silently in His Holy presence. Each child’s heart opens wide to the love of God. Each of Jesus’ little one’s eyes sparkle. As the Son of God’s eyes rest upon him. These children sit in awe and in wonder. In the loving and Holy presence of the Son of the Almighty One, the joy felt in each heart lasts from that moment until eternity.

But when Jesus saw it, He was indignant, and said to them, ‘Let the children come to me, do not hinder them, for to such belongs the Kingdom of God’.” (Mark 10:14, ESV)

We, you and I, as Jesus’ disciples sit at His feet eagerly listening. We are also His “little ones”. With the faith of a small and innocent child. You and I listen to each word He speaks directly to our open heart. With the unquestioning faith of a small child. You and I place our life in the hands of the Almighty One, God our Father.

With a heart wide open, we accept the love of the Almighty One. From the moment of our salvation, till eternity. You and I shall stand in awe and in wonder at the glory, the power and the majesty of the Almighty One. The one and only Creator of all there is. For you and I, and all His chosen and beloved people. Are made in the very image and in the true likeness of God Himself.

We sit in awe and in silent wonder at the feet of Jesus. We are one of His “little ones.” You and I stand in complete awe and in absolute wonder. At the glory of the Almighty One. For He made all there is. God, the Creator made us to love Him and to be loved by Him.

All Things Bright and Beautiful.

All things bright and beautiful, All creatures great and small.

All things wise and wonderful, The Lord God made them all.

He gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell.

How great is God Almighty, Who hath made all things well.”

(Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818–1895)

A simple blessing and one wondrous gift from the Almighty One. Is readily gained. By just by stepping into our garden. On a clear and starry night. The dazzle and the sparkle of countless stars. Each one silently praising its creator. Perhaps God may bless us? With His shooting star, on this very special night. Do we glimpse His messenger from Heaven? Is it the Almighty One reminding you and me? My beloved child. I love you. You are not alone. My beloved one, you shall never be alone.

Yes, all that you and I need to do. To stand in awe and in wonder at the glory and the majesty of the Almighty One. Is to take a simple step over our doorstep. Merely walk out into our garden. Raise our eyes to God’s heavens. In peaceful stillness and in reverent silence. Let the glory of the Almighty One fill our heart and our soul. Let our Heavenly Father fill our entire being with His unceasing love. Our voices to Heaven we lift in praise and in humble worship. We join with God’s Heavenly angels in harmonic chorus.

Standing silently and still long enough to be blessed by God’s messenger. His shooting stars. God’s personal and intimate messenger. Directly from His tender heart to ours. Yes, we stand in compete awe and in absolute wonder. At the One who created the entire universe and made you and me.

Feeling the breath of God touch us softly on our cheek. In God’s delicate and gentle breeze on a hot and steamy summer’s day. God’s breeze cooling us and bringing new and fresh life into our heart.

Every breath of God refreshing and renewing our sense of awe and our life of wonder. Each misty breeze reminding us of the glory and the mighty power of the Almighty One. The velvety breeze speaking of the majesty of God, our Heavenly Father.

Jesus’ Gospels instructs of God’s glory. Jesus’ miracles He performs by the power of His Father, His LORD, His God. Jesus, yes, Jesus Himself attributes all to the Almighty One. The power behind each miracle that He performs is the Almighty One. Jesus tells us He does nothing in His own Name. All Jesus does and every word He says is in humble obedience to God, His Heavenly Father. If God the Son, Jesus Christ praises and obeys Almighty God. So, humbly should you and me. ALWAYS!!!

In awe and in wonder. Each day we praise, and we worship the Holy Name of the Almighty One.

I write in devotion and in dedication to my Creator, God. These words are spoken directly from my heart. Each word written in awe and in wonder for the Almighty One. God’s creation.

God’s mighty and His majestic works are on display throughout His incomprehensible universe. The universe whispers silently to each of God’s beloved children. Of His love, glory, power and majesty. Each day. Every night something new to add to our heart’s collection of wonders. God’s universe stacked full of His power and His glory.

Yes! We step outside. Yes, you and I raise our faces to God’s heavens. We raise our heart and our voice to the Almighty One in praise and in worship. In awe and in wonder we stand before the throne of the Almighty One.

Indescribable.

Indescribable, in containable,
You placed the stars in the sky, and You know them by name.
You are amazing God.

All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees,

As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God. (Chris Tomlin)
