Let's be honest. There's no real trembling when it comes to God. Few people really go throughout life thinking "Am I living as though there is a God with a particular plan for the world?" Most times, we try to justify what we do through God-like lenses. We desperately want God to be on "our side," and sp we find ways to say "God's on my team." But God isn't a kid hoping we pick Him for our team. God didn't show up to Abraham trying to find someone who would praise God and worship God.
Indeed, God has a mission. Certainly, it's a mission of grace and reconciliation, but a mission nevertheless. And while God isn't hindered by human frailty and failure, sometimes it seems like it. We as Christians fall into a fairly unhealthy pattern of spending more time trying to figure out what God thinks about our priorities than what we should think of God's. Today I try to exalt God and place God's mission in the front of my mind. May we all try that today.
