" Thus says the Lord: Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word."
- Isaiah 66: 1-2
Father, how mighty and powerful you are! How wonderful are the things that you have created! You have built all in our world. Lord, I cannot fully comprehend the fullness of you; I know in my heart that you are everywhere, but for my human brain that is beyond full understanding! At the same time, I wouldn't want it any other way! Thank you for creating the world, for creating us to glorify and bless you. I pray that you look upon me and find that I am becoming humble and contrite in spirit! Thank you for the instructions in your word; that we have a guide to know how to live according to your will. I ask that you give me the strength to let go of anything that is building pride in my soul and the pride that is innate in me. I give them over to you! Lord, I desire to walk next to you with an open heart and mind; one that is willing to be used for your glory no matter the cost. Thank you for the trials and the joy that is teaching me how to be a humble servant to you. May I never forget these lessons from a father who is teaching me so much! Thank you for loving me enough to rebuke me!
In Christ's strong name, Amen!
