Re-Centering on a Sunday Night
The one and only Living God is deserving of my worship … He is more than I am and more than I think. He is greater, stronger and higher than any other. In my embracing of that unique awesomeness, I can have confidence that He is for me … what or whom can really stand against me?
“To worship God is to awaken our consciences to His holiness [His absolute purity and otherness], to feed our minds with His truth, to open our hearts to His love, and to devote our wills to His plans and purposes.”
– Charles Stanley
“I’m not like you, Mack … I am God, I am who I am … Mackenzie, I am what some would say ‘holy, and wholly other than you.’ The problem is that many folks try to grasp some sense of who I am by taking the best version of themselves, projecting that to the nth degree, factoring in all the goodness they can perceive, which often isn’t much, and then call that God. And while it may seem like a noble effort, the truth is that it falls pitifully short of who I really am. I’m not merely the best version of you that you can think of, I am far more than that, above and beyond all that you can ask or think.” – from +Wm Paul Young ‘s “The Shack”
“I don’t think the way you think. The way you work isn’t the way I work.” GOD’s Decree. For as the sky soars high above earth, so the way I work surpasses the way you work, and the way I think is beyond the way you think.”
– from Isaiah’s love letter to his countrymen (55:8, MSG)
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them … What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can every be against us?”
– from the apostle Paul’s love letter to the Romans (8:28,31 MSG)
