This is MY God



Psalms 96

9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Psalms 97

1 The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne.

3 A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

4 His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory

Routine

That is what I am tired of. I want more than a routine when it comes to my relationship with God. I want more than a routine church. I want more that a routine marriage. I want more that a routine life. I think too many times we settle for routine. We let go of our desires and dreams for the thrilling, stirring, breathtaking and instead we accept the tedious, ordinary, and average. We become walking dead men. No life, no spunk, just waiting for the coffin. Not only do we not feel Joy or see the wonder of life, we don’t even feel the pain. Our hearts become dull to everything around us. I know the Lord is wonderful, and knowledge is good, but I also want the Passion for the Lord and Passion for life to grip me. I want to be excited and enthusiastic about something. I am tired of keeping my emotions in check, Living life with my poker face on.
