The way of an Eagle in the Air
Proverbs 30:18-19
There are three things which are too wonderful for me,
Yes, four which I do not understand:
The way of an eagle in the air,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
And the way of a man with a virgin.
The way of a serpent on a Rock
Proverbs 30:19
The way of an eagle in the air,
The way of a serpent on a rock,
The way of a ship in the midst of the sea,
The way of an adulterous Woman
Proverbs 30:20
This is the way of an adulterous woman:
She eats and wipes her mouth,
And says, “I have done no wickedness.”
Hebrews 12:29
For our God is a consuming fire. —
We should worship God with reverence because he is a consuming fire! Mmm. What does that mean? Is the focus on his holiness? Does this warn of judgment? Is this an expression of his purity? Yes, YES, YES! You see, God is holy and pure and righteous. Our imperfections, flaws, failures, and sins stand out glaringly in comparison to his perfection.
Yet rather than destroying us with his holy fire. He can make us new and clean and more than what we once were. So not only can we draw near to him because of Jesus, we can stay near him as we live Jesus' life in our world (see Hebrews 13). That, dear friend, is reverential worship at its finest!
