sweetly broken

Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
Stand in Awe of God
Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.

That passage of scripture has totally floored me! The past few days I havn't been able to talk to God. Before I was so quick to just babble off words to God that sometimes mean nothing. Really think about this. When we pray we should try and imagine ourselves coming before God almighty. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
In Revelation 4 John's spirit is taken up to heaven and He gets to see the Throne Room of Heaven. John describes what he saw. One sitting on the throne. And He who was sitting was like a jasper stone and a sardius in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald in appearance. John sees flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder coming out of the throne. You have to give John credit because he tries so hard to describe what it was like but I am sure the words he is using doesn't even come close to describing what he really saw. John continues to describe what is around the throne. Twenty-four thrones; and upon the thrones he saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and golden crowns on their heads. There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God; and before the throne there was something like a sea of glass, like crystal; and in the center and around the throne, four living creatrues full of eyes in front and behind. He says the first creature was like a lion, and the second creature like a calf, and the third creature had a face like that of a man, and the fourth creature was like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, "HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY, WHO WAS AND WHO IS AND WHO IS TO COME."

This is all going down this very second in heaven. This amazing worship with these amazing creatures and a hundred million angels just worshiping and worshiping and worshiping God. It is so humbling. When it says in Ecclesiastes 5Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. I don't know about you but I have been doing it all wrong. My view of God has been all wrong. I am sure most of you have seen Passion of the Christ. Do you remember how you felt after watching that? I was not only broken but I was just in AWE of God. I had no words to describe what I saw and what I felt. It saddens me to think that people really do see God as this old man sitting on clouds in heaven with these angels that are playing harps. How is it that man came up with that description of God? Because after reading what the bible says God is like, I see this amazing BEING that is so awesome that words can't even describe what He is like. When I see what Jesus did while He was on this earth it just brings me to my knees. So the next time we come before this AMAZING, HOLY, GOD. May we come before Him in complete AWE.
