Stand in Awe of God

"Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer sacrifices of fools, who do not know that they do wrong."
Ecclesiastes 5:1

Father, May I never rush into your presence. May every second be held accountable. May every second be held to highest importance because it is your second, all of them. May I bow my heart to you and bend my ear to your voice.

One of my biggest spiritual struggles is listening to Gods voice, why? I talk a lot. I approach time with Him by scheduling it. Its rushed. I wish I was at a point my life where no matter what I was going to miss or be late, that I would know that spending time with God was more important.
We rush into worship. We sing empty words. We "offer sacrifices" that fools, unbelievers give. We rush God into our Life. Our relationship with Him can be summed up in a few words, "It's Fast and Unsatisfying."

When we Rush God, when we rush worship, when we rush reading the word, we Make GOD no more important that a few meaningless seconds. What would happen if we approached God being fully aware of every second before Him? That every second God uses, preordained that you would have a relationship with Him?

Dont Rush God. If you do, you will find that you did all the talking and God has told you nothing. You will beg God that He reveal His will to you, but then not listen when He does. God will tell you to "Go," and instead of listening, you will speak louder than Voice, drowning out His command and question His command. Dont Rush God or the Living Water will rush right by you before you know it.

Stand in Awe of God!
