MARVELING AT GOD'S MAJESTY: A CALL TO FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE

Bible verse portrait of Psalms 8:1
Dear brothers and sisters,

Today's devotion draws from the themes of Psalms 8, Matthew 9:14–38, and Genesis 24—a reflection on God's majesty, the call to seek His Majesty first, and the importance of faithful obedience to Him.

In Psalms 8, we are invited to marvel at the splendour of God's creation and the significance of humanity in His grand design. As we transition to Matthew 9:14–38, Jesus' ministry is marked by compassion, healing, and a call to seek first the kingdom of God. The verse of the day, Psalms 8:1, reinforces the priority of pursuing and seeking His Majesty in every sense of our lives.

Genesis 24 unfolds the narrative of Abraham's servant seeking a wife for Isaac. It is a testament to the faithfulness of God in orchestrating the details of our lives when we align ourselves with His purposes. The servant's prayer for guidance and Rebekah's willing obedience underscore the importance of seeking God's direction in our decisions.

As we reflect on these passages, let us marvel at the majesty of our Creator, recognising the unique role He has given us in His divine plan. May the compassion of Jesus inspire us to seek God's kingdom first, trusting that as we align ourselves with His will, He will provide for our needs. The story of faithful obedience in Genesis 24 challenges us to trust in God's guidance and follow His leading in our lives. May our hearts be stirred with gratitude and devotion as we seek to live faithfully in the light of God's majesty. Amen.
