HEART THAT LEARNS FROM GOD WITH REVERENTIAL FEAR

August 26 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 49-50

Key Verse – Jeremiah 49:5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.

HEART THAT LEARNS FROM GOD WITH REVERENTIAL FEAR Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against haughty sufficiency That corrects us by His satisfaction-persistency So that we can stay in His compassionate proficiency And be content in enjoying His mercy. Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against vain arrogance That rebukes us by His meekness-deliverance So that we can abide in His nourishing sustenance And be peaceful in claiming His assistance. Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against shameful selfishness That humbles us by His sacrifice-completeness So that we can acknowledge His omnipotent greatness And be confident in trusting His kindness. Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against perilous idolatry That disciplines us by His standards in the ministry So that we can march along truth-infantry And be courageous in doing His will against sin-entry. Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against hypocritical reaction That cleanses us by His purging sanctification So that we can strive for His holiness-anchored function And be teachable in gaining from His instruction. Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against worldly interest That reproves us by His divine test So that we can invest in His eternity’s fullest And be fruitful in working for His honour, always the best. Our heart learns from God with reverential fear against disobedient tenacity That molds us by His loving authority So that we can yield to His guiding sovereignty And be blessed in praising His Deity.
