Enjoying God
Dear Champions,
The short excerpt is by Tim Keller, and the scripture is Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."
When you have a general belief in God, you go to Him for things. When you've begun to experience the glory of God, who He is and what He does becomes an end in itself.
What if you would come to the top of a bluff and look down at an incredible vista of the ocean with waves breaking on the sea as far as you can see. It's beautiful! You sit down, and you just put your fist on your chin and look at it. You can't get enough of it! What are you trying to accomplish? Nothing! It's satisfying in itself and fills you up.
When your prayer life is like this you've begun to approach the glory and presence of God. To glorify Him means to enjoy Him. We glorify God by enjoying Him forever! John Piper says it this way: "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him."
Champions, have a great week!-David Vining
