In awe of God or something else?



I was looking on Facebook and seen where somebody had posted that a person had made them shake, cry, long for, etc. Not the first time I have seen this as I am sure you have seen the same. So it got me to thinking about how does God affect us? Does God have any movement in our lives or does something or someone of this world move us more? Think of ballgames, concerts, and other events where people go crazy over their team or band. Many times folks worship these things more than God!!! Ouch this ought not be so! How do you think this makes God feel? I think He calls anything we set before Him idols, and He hates them!

Look at what the bible says about how God should affect us:

Psalm 96:9
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!

Psalm 99:1
99 The Lord reigns; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!

Psalm 22:23
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,
and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!

Psalm 33:8
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;
let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!

Luke 5:8
8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”

Just thinking about God and being in HIs presence one day...whew....so unworthy am I!!! So Let us think about God this day and how we hold Him in our lives. Is He in His proper place? On the throne of our hearts or is someone or something else there?
