I think we all have a tendency to forget who we stand before
when we worship God, when we are petitioning Him in prayer,
when we are talking to our wonderful Lord. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, The Great I Am, The Holy One and so much more.
Yet we get star struck when we are in the presence of famous people, who are simply that; people who are well known for a job they do.
If we were to meet these people face to face we want to look and act our best.
Going to buy new attire, take a visit to the barber or beautician to get our hair fixed up nicely, have our makeup on just right, being on our best behavior.
Yet when we stand in the presence of the Lord God almighty, we don't give as much attention to ourselves, or how we present ourselves to Him, nor do we offer the best of ourselves.
Why?
Maybe it's because as we see and experience the many wonderful things around us,
we take them for granted.
We think they are simply things that have been and will always be, and so we don't take the time to appreciate them.
I am sure we have all been guilty of this, but some even more than others.
We also take one another for granted, not showing our love and or appreciation for each other until someone is gone.
We often treat our own lives in the same manner, until something devastating or drastic happens that makes us look at life differently, with a real appreciation.
It is my desire to take time to reflect and appreciate the goodness of God more in the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years to ahead.
Let's purpose to slow down and enjoy the life that God in all of is awesome magnificence
has planned and purposed for us.
Psalm 8:4"What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?"
This wonderful God cares and has you on His mind.
