A New Day

"And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures; and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying,"Amen, blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
Revelation 7:11-12

My Sunday school class just started a new Bible Study by Beth Moore...."STEPPING UP, A journey through the Psalms of Ascent." I am only on day 2 and I am LOVING IT! She is challenging us to spend a moment everyday on our faces before God. We can physically go no lower before God than on our faces. One of the things that true worship demands is humble submission.

I want to make it a priority in my life, to press to a higher place, to have a deeper relationship with Him. If we humble ourselves before God and come to Him with humility, God can and will lift us up.

During the introduction, she included a prayer that she prayed one morning while face-down on her back porch, in personal reverence and surrender to our Heavenly Father......

"Lord, I thank You again this morning that You are still God upon the throne of all creation. You are holy. Mighty beyond comprehension. So worthy of my praise and the outpouring of my life's energies. Today, I gladly give myself to You. I am convinced that You are always for me. Obedience to You will always mean Your very best for me. I'm so grateful that I can come boldly and without shame before Your throne because I pray all these things in Jesus' name!"

I accept Beth's challenge.....will you?
