Hiding in the Shadows…

Good morning, world. Things are looking pretty good from the front porch of my farm in Virginia today. I met with the Alpha and Omega before the sun came up and I watched His Majesty unfold before my very eyes. It’s hard to fathom how anyone could fail to see the Hand of the God of all Creation if they’ve ever watched a morning unfold before their very eyes…but they do. It’s because I worship His Majesty that I see things with my Heart instead of just the human eye and I begin to sing “Majesty! Worship His Majesty” almost every time. The deer in this photo reminded me of the way so many people approach the Journey of Faith…a little timid…a little shy..and never being willing to be the one to make the first move of Faith…all because they overlook His Majesty. Isn’t it just like God to embed a message on my Heart at sunrise using a simple deer?

God once said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!” but we don’t have to see His face to Seek His face. We don’t have to see His face to see Him in everything. He’s omnipotent. He’s omnipresent. He’s in the sunrise and He’s in the rain. He’s in the face of a child and He’s in the face of adversity. He’s the Keeper of Time and He’s the Creator of all. He’s the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the end. He’s the Bright Morning Star. He’s the great “I am.” It’s when we focus on all that He is and all that He does that we’re Empowered to share Him with the world and we no longer tiptoe around the Journey of Faith like a timid deer afraid of its own shadow. When we Focus on His Majesty we know that “no weapon formed against me will prosper.” How sad it is to see so many people professing to have Faith in Jesus Christ scurrying around in fear…hiding in the shadows of life. Unfortunately, they’re living like that deer – skittish and fearful of danger…and they’ll have just the same impact on the Kingdom as our furry friends if they aren’t careful. Worshipping His Majesty is where Strength is born.

It’s not possible to lose “your first love” or to become “lukewarm” as long as you Worship His Majesty. His Might out shadows everything on this earth and His Power is made Perfect in weakness. Psalm 91 says, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways” – why would I hide like a deer afraid of its own shadow? He says, “If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling, no harm will overtake you” – why would I hide like a deer afraid of its own shadow? He says “for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist” – why would I hide like a deer afraid of its own shadow? There is nothing too big for my God and no mountain too high to climb in His Name. He is Majestic. He is worthy to be praised. He’s the Source of my Strength. He’s my Purpose for Living. He expects me to rely on Him in all things and to Trust even those things I do not see. He has called me to fearlessly Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and there’s no shutting me up…and it all comes down to His Majesty. I’m so in awe of all that He is and all that He does that I’m Empowered to live for Him. You won’t find me hiding like a deer afraid of its own shadow, that’s for sure. Warriors are on the front lines.

I wish everybody could be an eyewitness to the sunrise view from the front porch BUT more than that, I wish everybody would Worship His Majesty. The world would be so different IF all the people professing to have a saving Knowledge of Jesus Christ would stop hiding like a deer afraid of its own shadow. Some people claim that they would be willing to die for Him…but I don’t believe that’s true. If they aren’t Living for Him…why would they be willing to die for Him either?
