This is my Final application for the last book of my nine months SBS experience. I can't believe in nine months I have walked through the BIble completely. God has done so much... I wish I could say more, but words really can't describe... Read and enjoy:
Final Application: “The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.” Ecc. 12:13-14
These past 9 months God has taught me so much. He continues to amaze me at the truth that he speaks over me, and how He does it with such love and patience. This verse has basically summed up everything that I feel like I have learned this year: To fear God. I have learned not to tolerate sin, and that this life is not about me at all, it’s about Him and His glory, and I’ve learned to have an eternal perspective. With all the knowledge I have gained this year, at times I’ve found it so hard to shut my mind off; I began to over evaluate things and details but I have finally learned the simple basics that I always need to go back to: the beginning of wisdom is to fear God. As long as I fear God above all other things, then the rest of my life will line up within that fear of God.
I have had a huge revelation and realization of my own humanity and my need for a savior. I have come to see the wickedness inside of myself, my need for God’s grace and for His love; He has restored the joy of my salvation. I know that this is only the beginning of what else God wants to teach me, do with me and where he wants to take me. I don’t ever want the fear of God to leave me. I want to continually be in fear of Him and in remembrance of His might and power and glory so that I will always walk humbly at this revelation. I pray that these truths will truly be bound to my heart and mind.
God,
All I want and all I need is YOU. Thank you so much for what you have done in my life. I’m not deserving of any of it. Thank you for your patience, your grace and love in my life. Please continue to give me revelation of your glory so that I can truly fear you. I want to walk in a fear of you over a fear of man every single day of my life. I want this fear of you to bring a pursuit of holiness and a new level of intolerance of sin. I long to glorify you mightily in my life. May all that people see in me be nothing less than your grace and love. I long to give my life to you through love and devotion to you. I do; I give it all to you and I commit myself to you, your plans for me. I commit my life to glorify you, for the purpose of Your Kingdom. Whether in suffering or joy. You are worthy of it all. I praise you for your power, beauty and love. All that I can say is ‘thank you’.
