I started "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan...incredible book, and I am only in the first chapter. (http://www.crazylovebook.com/index.html)
Here is what I got out of it:
When you see the word "God", what comes to mind? Is it just a word, or are you taken aback? Is there an awe factor?
Stop praying. Too often we come to God and ask him to fix our problems. Everything was created by Him and for Him. The Creator of the universe, and the many galaxies that exist within...do you just listen? Do you ever just come and sit before God and let the Creator speak to you? Do you ever just sit and think of Him? His holiness, His righteousness, His eternity?
Me: It's been a while since I sat in awe of God...my analytical mind wants to try and comprehend all that He is, I try to make sense of God. I come to him with my issues, my circumstances, and sometimes ultimatums.
"May Isaiah's cry become our own: 'Woe is me, we are a people of unclean lips.' Perhaps you need to take a breath after thinking about the God who made galaxies and caterpillars. The One who sits enthroned and eternally praised...If your not staggered, go to Isaiah 6 and Revelation 4..."
Off to read, and meditate.
