Such a question goes straight to the heart of our understanding and walk with God. Who do we think God is? And, who do we think we are?
When we draw near to God, we step into the presence of our Creator. Our Judge. The Sustainer of our every breath. With a thought He has humbled world powers. With a look He has destroyed seemingly invincible armies. The eternal destiny of every person who has ever lived rests in His all-powerful hands. He is not someone to treat lightly.
Yet to God’s amazement, His people were prancing into His presence without so much as a second thought. They offered their glib, shallow worship as if they were doing almighty God a favor merely by showing up. God asked where the trembling was.
Do you have a holy trembling occur every time you approach Him. Or have you lost your sense of awe at Who you are dealing with?
