In the Prophets and the book of beginnings (Genesis), I am particularly struck by the awesome nature and power of our God, his might and dominion and yet his love and compassion; it’s almost beyond comprehension for me. What a mighty God we serve. I realize I fall short in praising and worshiping God as he deserves.

"And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly” (Ex 19:18; KJV). The people of Israel were terrified.

 "I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple"(Isa 6:1). In verse 2 of this passage we are told that the seraphim or heavenly beings worshipped God most high crying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory" (Isa 6:3). Isaiah tells us that God’s voice caused the door posts of the temple to shake and his presence filled the temple with smoke.

Reflect on our God today; find time to just praise and worship him for who he is, not what he can do for you.
