Day 8 Humility

From the ground up

Read: Isaiah 6:1-8 and Revelation 1:17-18

Man was formed from the dust, plucked out of the ground by the creative Hand of the Father who fashioned us in His image and likeness. It is no wonder that every time we see an encounter of revelation of the Father to man, the response is that men bow to the ground in worship. This posture reminds us of where we originate from and leaves the Father standing in His lofty power, where He belongs.

The heart of the worshipper who has searched for and found the presence of Yahweh is one bowed down. When we recognize HIs Holiness, see His beauty and discover His love, it humbles us. Today, your heart may not be able to fully grasp the greatness of Yahweh, but we must certainly have an appreciation of how we cannot compare to this Mighty God. And yet, He calls us, He ushers us into this place to show that HIs love for us is unconditional, that He bridges the divide and allows us access into His presence. Enter boldly and with reverence and humility.

Yahweh opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. (1Peter 5:5-6)
