Have you ever noticed that in the Bible, when someone comes into the presence of either God the Father or God the Son, their normal reaction is to fall prostrate? Why is this so? It is so because our God is an awesome God. Too often we try to create God in our own image. We place on Him the restraint of human fraility. This is not God's nature. God's nature is one of unimaginable power. The Presence of the Father or the Son creates illumination which is blinding. God is full of zeal for His people. He is called the Lord of Hosts because nobody can deliver from His hand. This is what David realized when facing the Philistines. He said "who is this fellow to challenge the hand of God's elect? Accessing the power of God cannot be accomplished without undeniable faith. It is this faith that gives us access to the power of the Lord of Hosts and brings us safety in the midst of calamity.
Daily Prayer: Father, all too often we pray little prayers. We pray small because we believe small. Just as Your Spirit illuminates us to the truth of Your salvation, allow the Spirit to illuminate us to who You are. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
