Prayer - Strength, Majesty, Holiness

 


Father God, You are so strong, mighty and majestic and completely holy.  In fact, the psalmist said You are "robed" with the former and Your house is "adorned" with the latter and that for "endless days".  If only our homes were so well "decorated" and the inhabitants so clothed! 

 Father, we often hear the Sunday School song,

"Our God is so big, so strong and so mighty,

There's nothing our God cannot do..."*

It's a very joyful song.  Make its words and especially the words of Psalm 93 penetrate, not just our minds, but our hearts as well.

Shatter our doubts and skepticisims that you are so strong and mighty.  There are times in the toils and troubles of life when we question, "If You are so big and strong, then how come we can't get out of the "valley of death"?!"  Instead, may this psalm be upon our lips and to sing with confidence, of Your stength and might and holiness.  May we gain our confidence in You to depend upon Your strength and mejesty.  

You have imparted Your holiness to those who have received Jesus Christ as Savior.  That is what You see:  Your righteousness and holiness because of the blood of Jesus Christ that cleansed us from all sin.  Yet, Father, we confess we do not always make Jesus, LORD of our lives and therein our sanctification holiness is lacking.  May we be holy as You are holy.

May our homes too be clothed in holiness as we live before You in the "fear of God" and then continue to sing joyfully of Your established throne which is from eternity to eternity, and that is full of strength, might, majesty and holiness.

We worship Your Majesty with holy living.  We worship with praises from our lips:  singing of You and Your firm, established ways and Being.

Thank-You in Jesus' Name.
