Did you ever notice that your impression of God is just like your dad? Most of us look to a father figure to know what God is like. If your dad was a very strict father, chances are you view God as a strict father figure. Maybe your dad was a man who was lenient, most likely you will view God as a lenient nonrestrictive God. Sadly there are many children out there that have no father at all. They have no idea what God should be like because they didn’t have a dad to give the right example to look to. Whatever your view of God currently is, let me suggest a few thoughts.
In looking at the way humans have responded to seeing God, we see Isaiah saying these words “It’s all over; I am doomed for I am a sinful man” 6:5 NLT. Isaiah thought his life was over because he knew he was sinful and he realized in whose presence he was in. We see the Apostle John fainting as if he was dead when the Lord God appeared to him in the book of Revelation. I wonder how we would respond if we came into the presence of God?
Would we fear him? Would we even feel like we needed to bow before him? Each Sunday we come as a Christian nation and bow before God to worship the creator and King of all. Do we give him the reverence he deserves? Do we realize that he is perfect and we are not? Do we take into account that as we stand before him, he is truly there with us?
As you worship Him each and every day, including Sundays, let us always remember that our actions along with our thoughts show our worship to Him. Let us never forget that while we may not see God before us, God is truly there.
