Shouting and Falling for Joy

Scripture Leviticus 9: [24] Fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed the burnt offering and the fat portions on the altar. And when all the people saw it, they shouted for joy and fell facedown.

Observation: When I see God’s miracles and answered prayers do I shout for joy or fall on my knees in awe? No my Lord shows me He is there all of the time and yet my joy is subtle at best and only when I’m in agony to I fall facedown before Him. There shouldn’t be a day that goes by that I don’t shout for joy and especially when others may see it. People should know what an awesome God I serve, as a matter of fact that is my purpose here is to tell others how truly wonderful He is.

Application: I need to not take God for granted and give Him the glory and respect He deserves. Me being here is a miracle and I see my Lord each day and I need to shout for joy and fall facedown to worship Him. I need to share my joy with others and tell them about my wonderful Master and Father so that they may be able to share the joy with me.

Prayer: My Lord you are worthy of all things and especially my obedience. You fill my life with joy help me share it with others in your name. Show me how to tell my story about you to others in a way to draw them closer to you. I bow down before you in awe and worship you, show me how to honor you in a way that is pleasing like the aroma of a sacrifice to you.
