June 24: 2Kings 11,12; 2Chronicles 24; 1Timothy 6
Scripture: 1Timothy (NIV) 6:15 …God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.
Observation: At the end of his first letter to Timothy, Paul writes this description of God—of God who is beyond description. He far surpasses our limited vocabulary and understanding. He is completely THE GOOD! He is the ultimate Ruler. His laws are both loving and just; they are supreme. All earthly kings bow their knee to His MAJESTY. All earthly lords acknowledge His supreme authority. Death will never overcome him. Darkness is destroyed in his presence. Human eyes cannot catch the light rays that shine from him.
Application: To serve such a God is indeed an honor. He does not need my service as He is more than capable of accomplishing anything He decrees. Yet He depends on me because He loves me. He makes a way for me to be a part of His plan. Partnering with Him in serving others is a way I can return the love he gives me. He allows me to represent Him!
Prayer: Lord, my vocabulary is so limited, so I use this word just for you: AWESOME! Thank you for loving me and including me. Thank you for giving me a part in what you are doing here on planet earth. Amen
