stop praying.

We sit here, in Florence, South Carolina. Its our world, its what we know. But what about the things we don't? I don't think we could ever fully comprehend just how large our lack of knowledge truly is. Yet, God knows it all. Everything. Everything that there possibly is to know and understand he comprehends in full! I cannot begin to fathom such a fact. Although God created and knows everything we are an absolutely HUGE deal to Him. Last Wednesday the group discussed that God knows the hair on our heads. Out of all the things in the universe, both seen and unseen, our Lord takes the time to know each one of us personally, so personally that he does indeed know absolutely everything about us.
Yet when we step back and observe the love God has for us, we cannot begin to really grasp the love that he deserves. Not only because its so much, but also because of ourselves. We are so selfish, with our time, our money and everything else. But why do we think we have any control with a God so sovereign? He sees everything, while we only view a small moment that we too often think will last. If we consider just how outside of time God truly is we can hardly imagine why he would want to take the time to be involved in such a moment of His time. Our eighty years on earth are nothing compared to the depths of times that He spans across.
The challenge that we come draw from this is to turn off a bit of the noise of our everyday lives. Our cellphones, iPods, computers, cars, EVERYTHING! To just take a moment of our lives to really take in God. Though he is not something that can even be contained in us. He's far to big. But if we fill ourselves with Him then we can come just a bit closer to fully grasping His, despite how impossible it really is. This should lead to our fear in God. We should tremble in his almighty love for us and his complete creation.

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world."
-Psalm 19:1-4

Do we love Him like he deserves?
