I was reading a post from a guy I follow named Rob Wegner. I read it and it challenged me today. It is so true and today God I ask for you to help me to see you in a clearer way, with AWE and reverence. Below is the poem that he posted…

Great and holy God
awe and reverence
fear and trembling
do not come easily to us
for we are not Old Testament Jews
or Moses
or mystics
or sensitive enough.
Forgive us for slouching into Your presence with little expectation
and less awe than we would eagerly give a visiting dignitary.
We need
neither Jehovah nor a buddy-
neither “the Great and Powerful Oz” nor “the man upstairs.”
Help us to want what we need…
You
God
and may the altar of our hearts
tremble with delight
at
Your visitation
amen.
