Awe

I just want to encourage you today, sit and marvel at God's grace.

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory."
Ephesians 1:3-14

God often calls his children to do two things: be still and remember.  God knows that this world moves fast paced, and distractions are not few and far between.  We need those moments of stillness with him to refocus and rest.  Not only that, but we need to be still to remember.  The business of life often causes us to become forgetful of, or even blinded to, the incredible workings of God.  If you look back at the Israelites, their times of rebellion were their times of forgetfulness.  Remembering what God has done helps us to put our trust in him right now.  When we remember his faithfulness, we realize he is still faithful and will get us through this trial, this struggle, this day. 

Right now, just sit still and remember.  Remember with awe the work of God in your life.  Sit in wonder of the mystery of his grace.
