Tremble at His WORD

.....But on this one I will look:
on him who is poor and has a contrite spirit
and trembles at my Word.....
Isaiah 66:2

I want the LORD to look .... look at me and look at you.

His attention......His CONSIDERATION....... So I choose to think sober thoughts about who I am compared to the greatness of God. When I start to get prideful .... I tell myself to cut it out in the name of Jesus!
I do not understand teachers like Rob Bell. They act as if they are humble but the exact opposite is true. It seems they know more or something different than what God says in his Word. There is no fear of the LORD , no fear of His awesome power and no respect for His WORD.
Avoid such men.... would be the great apostle's advice.

On the other hand I have had the experience of being with those humble servants who take HIS WORD seriously. I love them because all they want to talk about is Jesus.
I spoke with a mom today who told me one of her twin sons in my tues Bible class told her recently, "MOM I want to read the Bible more.... I am praying God would give me a love for his Word!" That young boy will go far in His relationship with Christ!

A contrite spirit, a poor and broken spirit is one who knows the depth of his own sin and knows he deserves to never enter the Kings presence.
BUT GOD who is rich in Mercy made the way for all such humble broken men to come to Him . The Cross of Jesus and the new life He offers is only for those who are poor and contrite in spirit and who tremble at His Word. The Christian life is lived in this humility.
Pastor Furrow often tell us on staff at Calvary Tucson to watch out for pride because it will cause us to be consumed by ourselves!
The contrite heart realizes it is what Christ did for us according to HIS WORD

God I choose to stay broken and humble and to stand on your WORD!
Help me to live a life that is Spirit led and takes your Word seriously.
