Always Reverent
Listen
In this season, we have been understanding and having a knowledge of how to respect and revere the presence of God and when we understand that the presence of God cannot be toyed with or taken lightly, there should be some fear. We know the story of Ananias & Saphira and that of Nadab and Abihu who were struck dead. There are things we can do on a regular day and God can pardon but when we sit in His presence, we should be conscious. The Lord is calling us blessed if we fall in a category that have the fear of God.
This fear of God is not that one that will cause us to fear and run away from his presence but one that will cause us to fall and prostrate before his presence like Isaiah did and because of his reverential fear of God, the Bible says the seraphim came and cleansed his lips with coal from the altar of God understood the fear of God. A man who understands what to do and what not to do in the presence of God is one who is prone to encounter and his mind is open to encounters from God and is one who God enjoys. Let us think of the way we open some of the social media apps during worship or prayer it is almost as if we are ignorant of the king of kings is right there but we should not be ignorant of the presence of God in the church. The Lord says find me a man who has a fear for his presence and has a desire to respect Gods presence and he will be increased and be elevated and blessed are those who fear to do wrong.
A person who is unable to fear God or his presence is one whose heart is made of stone and does not respond to the presence of God. And such a heart is headed for serious trouble. Today, this is a call for someone reading this to turn around and choose to have a broken heart before what we have that stands around us breaks. Choosing to do this because of a revential respect and fear for God. This should be a result of knowing how great our God is and choosing to respect and reverence His presence in a measure that He is worthy of because He is present.
When we sit in God's presence, we should be conscious of what we do. Share on XMay we all have the grace to be blessed and happy people who will be in reverence of Gods presence.

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
