MAJESTY

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles." Romans 1:20-23

By faith, we walk with God. What we first think about God when He comes to mind is how we are going to worship Him. The low view of God entertained by the world is common among Christians as well. How and what we feel about God directly reflects upon our walk with Him. The common idea that God is a being who scares people into loving Him and desperately needs our companionship is an abomination. If everyone on this planet would turn their back on God tomorrow, it would not change God in any measure. Our Heavenly Father would be the same as He was before time began. Our imaginations betray us, we composite many mental pictures. We cut and paste together a reasonable image of what God is like. In a never-ending pursuit to feel secure, we reduce God to some measurable being we can reason our self to. We ingrain a sense of security into ourselves by believing we know where He is when we need Him.

This is not walking humbly with the Creator of heaven and earth. We must adjust ourselves to His will. We must learn His truths and be obedient to them. In order to walk humbly with The Lord we must first trust and obey Him. When we accept and submit to His perfect and pleasing will, we can start bringing honor and glory to Him. We seem to have forgotten that God created us exclusively for this purpose. By His great mercy and goodness, we are able to break free from thoughts that bind us. When we walk humbly with God, our faith will support us where reason fails and we will think because we believe, not in order that we may believe.

O God of Bethel, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who through this weary pilgrimage hast all our fathers led!
Our vows, our prayers we now present before Thy throne of grace; God of our fathers! Be the God of their succeeding race. -- Philip Doddridge
