DAY 3 – LIVING LIFE IN CONTEXT Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy before the LORD. (Psalm 98:8-9) As I stated yesterday, we’re not just coming before a title or a name, we’re coming before His very presence; we’re coming before His face. And if rivers and mountains can come before the LORD, imagine the pleasure He receives when His Children come before Him. When we are before the Lord, we stand in the proper context for our lives. To not be before the Lord leaves us to our own devices, prejudices, misunderstandings, foolish thinking, sinful nature, bad attitude, and wrong actions. But to be in His presence, to be before Him, reveals Who He is, His attributes, His works, and His will; thereby revealing to us, who we are, what our relationship is, and what our attitude and actions should be. This is Living Life in Context—in His context. And recognize what an awesome privilege you have to be able to come before the Lord. Many cannot. The wicked cannot stand before Him, nor can sinners. But those of us who’ve been saved by the Lord Jesus Christ can stand before Him. Psalm 95 says: Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker. For he is our God, and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. (Psalm 95:6-7) Read Psalm 95
