Good Morning Friends,
“This is what the LORD says: ‘Heaven is my
throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for
me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and
so they came into being?’ declares the LORD. ‘This is the one I esteem: he who
is humble and contrite in spirit, and trembles at my word.’” (Isaiah 66:1-2)
It all belongs to God. He made it. He made
heaven and earth. Everything you see and everything you don’t see was made by
God and belongs to Him.
Why is it, then, that we think we can build
something that might impress Him? The grandest temple ever built is like a
Tinker Toy to Him. He made the Grand Canyon, the Swiss Alps, the Sahara Desert,
and the Milky Way! Do you really think anything man might make could even compare
to them and the thousands of other sights like them?
No, it’s not what we can build for Him or do
for Him that impresses God. But there is something that impresses Him. There is
something that He esteems. It is the one who is humble, contrite, and reverent.
God is not looking for what you can do for
Him. He’s looking inside your heart. It’s what He finds there that means more
to Him than anything else in all creation, certainly more than anything you
could ever do for Him.
So, take care of your heart, it is the only
real gift you can give to God!
His, by Grace,
Steve
