POWERFUL PRESENCE
A poem and essay by ILMA
Oh Lord, you are all mighty
Give me wisdom to see my destiny
You burst from the heavens to come down
You saved a wretch like me and found.
You are the most powerful presence ever
Your love is highest and it lasts forever
All your creation bows down to your power
They all quake and quiver and cower.

Have you ever met someone who radiates so much power and attendance? Whenever they come in a room, all eyes are riveted to them and they emit such radiance. There are some people who come and go and nobody notices them at all. They try to do everything to make themselves unnoticed because they don’t want to be looked at. I knew someone who would literally make herself small and invisible so they won’t be seen. Most people who likes to hide from others are usually compensating for their lack of confidence.
The bible talks about the most powerful presence on earth, the Lord Jesus Christ. Each time he walked into a place, he turns heads and get everyone to listen to him. He radiates love and gets anyone instantly captivated by his person. He can command any of his creation to anything he says. What a powerful presence.
PRAYER
Lord, you are awesome. Let me give you praise always.
REFLECTION

LIKE A SHARP ARROW IN HIS QUIVER Poem Devotional

August 16________________________________________
He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.
– Isaiah 49:2(NLT)
LIKE A SHARP ARROW IN HIS QUIVER
A poem and essay by ILMA
To all who believes in Jesus Christ
They are guided by his glory light
He hides his people in his hand’s shadow
He will never forsake those who follow.
Like a sharp arrow in his quiver
He gives strength to all his followers
Like God’s word pierces the heart
He makes sure we will never depart.

Benson’s commentary on Isaiah 49:2 explains that “In the shadow of his hand hath he hid me — He will protect me by his power from all mine enemies, until I have finished the work for which he sent me. And made me a polished shaft — Like an arrow, whose point is bright and polished, and therefore pierces deeper. And said, Thou art my servant, O Israel — The person who is here called Israel, cannot, in any sense, be Isaiah. But, as the name of David is sometimes given to his successors, and particularly to Christ.
It is clear from the commentary that the prophet Isaiah was talking about Jesus Christ who is a sharp arrow. He pierces the hearts of people with his word. He lives for the heavenly Father’s fulfillment of his plan. He will do everything to bring people to his heavenly Father.
