As we continue this month with our sermon series, may this prayer encourage us into further pursuit of Life in Full, Life in Christ.
"The Lord is king;
he is robed in majesty;
The Lord is robed;
he is girded in strength."
-Psalm 93
I know your majesty and strength only insofar as I know you, O Lord. How I long to see the benefits of your character, yet so often without the substance of your relationship. I try to put on the clothes of godliness, and yet they fall away with little effort or they drape carelessly like tattered, filthy rags. the clothes I choose--however nice, however trendy--are but vague representations of the garments you desire for me. They are incomplete and amatuer attempts to be what I am not, the gentle facade of a godliness I cannot maintain apart from the radiance and goodness of your transforming Grace.
Help me, O Lord, to know the pleasure of your strength and majesty. As I rest in your arms, I become aware that your robe covers me. It clothes my nakedness. It warms my heart. It comforts my soul. Therein lies my strength. Therein lies any glory I may claim. Therein lies the purest rest and joy. O, thank you, Living Jesus, for your loving embrace.
Longing for more of His embrace,
JON
