Reflection
A= Awe-filled wonder for God
Our scripture today points out that abiding in Christ begins with an awe-filled wonder for God. this begins with our worship. In worshiping Jesus and his Father we remember it’s about God, not me! We worship God not just by singing songs of praise to him but by bringing our daily lives into His kingdom and doing that together. We do this by appreciating God (e.g., the beauty of His creation, forgiveness for our sins, and the gift of eternal life) and by being humbled in God’s presence. How do you take time to appreciate what God has done? Have you ever been humbled by God’s presence? Take time now to list the many things god has done that inspire awe in you?
