Tonight at my church's weekly prayer meeting, Pastor Steve, who leads the meeting, had us meditate on the second part of the first line of the Lord's Prayer, "Who art in Heaven." While asking the Lord what He wanted me to see in it, here are some of the things I came up with:
1) He is the Ruler over all principalities and powers in the spiritual realm. Every power in heaven, earth and hell is subject to "Our Father in Heaven."
2) He sees the "Big Picture." Like a helicopter flying over a freeway can "see" and even predict accidents about to happen because of it's perspective, God sees and knows everything going on at once (being outside of time) and even what is going to happen at any given time.
3) He knows us completely, being the Creator of all. Check out Psalm 139 as well.
4) He is all powerful, being over all and knowing all.
5) He is worthy of worship, based on all the above. How could I NOT?
6) He is worthy of trust. If He knows more than I do, sees what I can't, and is above all evil "forces," then I can trust Him and don't have to struggle for control of things I can neither help nor understand or change. What a relief!
7) I'm not (any of above numbers 1-6)!
How humbling is that?
Welcome to Springs in Baca, based on Psalm 84, a quiet place to reflect and be encouraged by a fellow pilgrim, on our way to our eternal Home.
