Reverence

 

But I, by your great mercy, will come into your house; in reverence will I bow down toward your holy temple.

 

Psalm 5:7

 

 

In this Psalm, as in many of the Psalms David wrote, he reveals his hearts struggles with his enemies and writes of his dependence upon God's character.

 

God is trustworthy, righteous, faithful—He is fair and dependable.

 

Too often, we approach God in a demanding way, barging into His presence with cares, needs, wants and desires, but we lack reverence. It's as if God is to serve us at every beckon call, to be ready to meet our needs whenever we need Him to.

 

We do not want our relationship with God to be based on what He can do or does for us, instead it needs to be that we want God to know that we love Him for who He is and has done for us.

 

Come to God in reverence, thanksgiving, and petition and He will hear our hearts cry!
