Revelation

Today, I had a revelation.  It's something we all know (i even blogged about it a couple of posts ago), but few of us really 'get it.'  I can't claim I 'get it'  to its fullest extent, but I 'got it' a little bit more today.

Here it is:  Everything we do should in the end glorify God!  Why do we meet as a church?  To glorify God.  Why do we preach the gospel?  To glorify God.  Why do we reach the lost, put on crusades, bring healing and deliverance to people?  To glorify God.  Why do we 'do life together'?  To glorify God.  

It sounds simple, but we easily lose focus throughout the business of the day.  It's easier to put our attention on schedules and programs, and we completely forget the meaning behind it all.  

The Creator of the universe, the true meaning of love, Abba Father wants to have a relationship with us.  He desires us so much that He paid the way while we were still sinners so that we could be reconciled to Him.  The real question is:  How can we not glorify and worship Him? That puts a new spin on prayer and all the spiritual exercises we perform.
