A Year Through God's Eyes

Isaiah 6:3-"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with His glory!"
Anytime you hear one passage as often as I've heard this one over the last few weeks, you tend to sit up and take notice. This is because in my experience that God is trying desperately to communicate a truth with you. The truth of this verse has taken me the entirety of the two weeks to comprehend fully, but Tuesday night as I was driving home from the Region concert, it finally came together. The simple fat is that God only wants my worship. For longer than I care to admit, I've been trying to bargain and barter with the God of the universe that I would do what was required of me without fully buying into whatever it is that I was doing, whether that was studying, worshipping, preparing for a service, praying, etc. Not to say that I wasn't invested in these activities, I just didn't do it to the full. I realized in the car that these are some of the chains Jesus came to free me of. I enter today knowing that Jesus is the only thing in my life worthy of my praise and the more time I spend with Him, the more He rubs off on me, and the deeper my worship becomes, the deeper my prayer life becomes, the more insightful my quiet time is, the fuller my home life is. In essence, the more Jesus I get, the more my life is truly full and the less full it is of junk and noise.
