I thought that I would like to write a little bit about my favorite verse. Thinking about this verse has really been helping my walk with God by informing me a little bit about where I stand, and a little bit about where He stands in our relationship.
Hebrews 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone.
I have been realizing that something that I am missing in my relationship with the Lord is a true and overwhelming reverance for my God. When I truly sit back and think about it, He created the universe......and He cares enough about me to not only allow me to exist, but send His Son to die for my sins, my transgressions. The creator of the universe. How crazy is that?!
And here I am asking the King of all to help me find my keys when they're lost or praying that I might not be late to a meeting. I'm not saying that asking for these things is wrong, quite the contrary (1 Thessalonians 5:17). We should be praying to God about everything. What I am saying is that I need to examine how I ask for them, how I approach my God. Doesn't he deserve more respect than I give Him?
I guess what I am wrestling with at the moment is how to have the intimate relationship that God desires with me, and that I want with Him, while showing due reverance to the Lord my God. Something to think about.

It's the tension between man's depravity and magnificence. It's like dirt fingerprinted the image of God.
