"And He Who sat there was like a jasper and sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald....And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices...." (Revelation 4)
Maybe the "awe-factor," or maybe getting older and realizing my spec-existence on this spec-planet in this spec-galaxy is a reason that I can only find few words to express worship, prayer, etc.
Prayer, worship, is much more than talk. I find that I worship as "much," if not more, by the wonder factor than the words factor. The song writer wrote, "when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made." He goes on to say, "Then sings my soul," but it started with, "when I...consider...."
Perhaps one of the crucial things which the Pharisees never considered is that the Living Triune God is not a machine into which you enter some program or formula to get some "result." The song says, "And He walks with me and He talks with me," and so should we with Him. Friendship is manifest as much in be-ing together as in talking together.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You for allowing me, through and in the Blood of Jesus, to partake in scene of our text. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
