REVERENCE

I have observed a key character quality that is lacking in many young people today.  It is also lacking in many adults who are believers in Me.  That character quality is extremely important in your life.  That character quality is reverence.

Part of the word reverence is "revere."  People show reverence to other people who they revere.  Yet so many believers fail to show reverence to Me, the One Who created them.  Reverence is a part of worship that seems to be missing in many gatherings of believers.  There is a lot of talk and a lot of socializing, but few enter the house of God that they attend with the awe and reverence that I long to see.

Pray today that I will instill in you an awesome reverence of My Word, My presence, and My body on earth (believers who have confessed Me as their Lord).  When the quality of reverence is instilled in you, your times of worship and praise will graduate to a higher level.  I am always with you, but when you revere My name and My Word, heaven stands still in awe of the one who is willing to bow down and humble himself/herself with a meek heart that is ready to obey My Word.
