Lea and James' blog
Thursday, December 13, 2007Thank you God!!James and I are studying the book of Daniel in our home group now. Last night before study, we were just talking about how in Daniel 10, the vision of Christ caused Daniel to lose all of his strength. As Christ spoke to him, Daniel fell into a deep sleep with his face to the ground. Daniel didn't jump up and down and start singing hymns right away. In fact, the other men with Daniel ran away from the vision to hide. I wondered why this kind of reaction...TO CHRIST!!?? I told James that I always pictured running to God when I see Him in Heaven, both in awe of His glory and yet overwhelmed with thankfulness and gratitude towards Him. But then we talked (well, James pointed out) that some people in the Bible fell to the ground in fear and trembling when they saw God...not because they were afraid of him...but because He was just so holy and amazing that His presence was almost too much to bear. James and I were discussing how God is so much more holy than we can understand and even comprehend. James mentioned how silly it is when humans compare themselves with one another, according to their goodness and works....it's like having a goal of jumping to the moon and you say that you are so much better than this other guy because you can jump 2 ft and he can only jump 1.5ft. None of us will never jump high enough to touch the moon! It is so silly to compare ourselves, when we are SO FAR from God's holiness. In comparison to God, our righteousnesses are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64) WOW. I don't know about you, but this is just beyond me... that we have a God that is this powerful, perfect, and pure...and He chose to love us for who we are (filthy rags and all)!! We love you God! THANK YOU!! |
