As I pondered my relatioship with the Lord, I hadn't before realized I had become all too casual with him. In our spending much time togther, He knowing me so very well and I learning and desiring to know him more, had somehow, somewhere in the midst of it all become laxed. Had I not taken to heart whose presence I was in? One so awesome in quality and character, the absolute image of perfection, great in glory and majesty. How could I have allowed myself to become all too casual? Did I lose sight that I was created by him, in his image and likeness, not giving much thought to Psalm 139:14 "... I am fearfully and wonderfully made, the marvelous work of his hand..." surely my soul does not it full well, that I should permit myself to forget the truth right in front of me. Had I forgotten the magnitude of his greatness written in Genesis 1:3 "...Let there be light, and there was light." how he spoke creation into existence. Did the biblical truths of his miraculous power escape me? such as that written in Exodus 15:8 "And with the blast of your nostrils, the waters were gathered together. The floods stood upright like a heap..." this and countless other stories reflective of his greatness and power.
Not to mention that of my own testimony of his life transforming goodness, mercy grace and power.
How could the magnitude of his humility escape me? Philippians 2:7-8 " making himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. 8) And being found in appearance as a man. He humbled himself and become obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."
I will take this moment to put away my all too casual and behold the Lord my God, who is worthy of all glory, honour and the highest praise. Hallelujah to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the Almighty God, who was, who is and shall always be forever more. For there is nothing casual about the Lord our God.
