Day 7 "Clothed In His Majesty"
Beauty in Strength and Power
Good Morning Beauties!
Most of the time when the Bible speaks of God’s majesty, it is accompanied by the words strength and power. Majesty is one of those words I believe is best reserved for God alone. He is All Mighty God and holds all power in His hand. The Holy Spirit embodies majesty, and the miraculous thing is He lives inside of every Christian.
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever — the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.”
John 14:15-17 (NIV)
From the beginning, God intended us to have authority and live with the power of God through the Holy Spirit. Here are a few examples:
”Then God said, ‘Let us make a man—someone like ourselves, to be the master of all life upon the earth and in the skies and in the seas.’”
Genesis 1:26 (TLB)
”I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.”
Ephesians 1:18-21 (NIV)
”And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.”
Romans 8:11 (NIV)
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”
Ephesians 6:10-11(NIV)
Beauties, these verses, these truths, are great news! We do not have to live out of our own strength, but from the power and strength of the Holy Spirit. This is the place where we stop trying to do it all in our humanity, and instead, we trust our power source and find rest. Hallelujah! Selah.
Can you honestly say you are living out of this all powerful strength? I bet in some ways you’re relying on His power just beautifully. What about the other ways when you’re still relying on your own? What would it look like to walk completely in the power and strength of God? What needs to change? What will you change first? Selah.
"Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!”
Revelation 7:12 (NIV)
Let’s worship our Beautiful Savior with four different anthem versions throughout the past few generations.
