Today's Verse: 2 Samuel 7:22

Thursday, July 22, 2004

"How great you are, O Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears."
— 2 Samuel 7:22

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The promises of God to Abraham and David, the work of God through Jesus, and the miraculous preservation of both the Abrahamic and Davidic lines to Jesus are nothing short of miraculous. They are testimony to God's faithfulness and power. When we get discouraged by the unfaithfulness and blasphemy so prevalent in our world, we need to remember the faithfulness of our God and his awesome power displayed through his chosen people.

My Prayer...

Father of all and Provider and Protector of your people, please give me a sense of courageous awe at your power and a sense of reverential wonder at your faithfulness. There is no other being or power like you, for you alone are God. I praise you for your glory and grace. In Jesus' name I praise you. Amen.
