As I look back through my notes from this past month I came across something I had jotted down in my little notebook I keep with me for quick thoughts. I wanted to share them with you. It’s nothing amazing but I like to keep you all informed on the times when God grabs my attention and whispers to me. I love those moments and so I hope you can share this thought with me.
Here are my words:
As I look out the bus window at the brilliant African sunrise I am in awe of its beauty. Glorious One by Starfield then comes on my mp3 player.
I can look at the sun and be in awe, but how many moments like this do I miss with God? How many times have I lost a chance to be in awe of the most amazing God?
I wonder about the people in my life and if I get more excited to see them then I do about when I have the opportunity to come into the presence of the One who is more awesome. None of my friends or family can begin to compare the Him. Yes mom, even you.
I wonder if I ever make God feel like the awkward kid…not that God ever feels awkward. You know, the kid standing next to another kid when someone waves. He gets excited that someone is noticing him, yet when he waves back he soon realizes that the attention was meant some someone else. Ok, that sounds weird now; it made more sense in my head.
God desires so much to be in a relationship with and spend time with us. How often, though, do I pass Him by for others? Even as I continue to journey through so many amazing countries I have to remind myself to not get used to it. I need to open my eyes wide enough to see the beautiful creation and to give honor due to the one who made it all; the Glorious One.
