Facedown

Check out 5.5.10 Lesson- Facedown

5.12.10 Lesson 2- Facedown

God is God and I am not - how long did it take for you to learn that lesson?  Are you still learning it?  Do you realize how often we live in our "self-centered" world where we "know" what is best?  Our decision making process does not naturally lead us to the godly decision does it?

One of the foundational truths that all Christ followers need is the understanding of how incredibly different God is from man.  We live in a humanist world that declares man is capable of just about anything.  We individually get to accept what is truth and what is acceptable.  A judgmental person is the worst person in the world - no one should judge anyone, anytime, anywhere or doing anything.

We know this worldview is found in every type of media, many educational institutions and in many parenting books.  People are inherently good at the core.

When we look at God, we are quickly struck with the fact that God is completely and totally holy - set apart, different, pure and sacred.  God is judgmental - he will judge all actions, words, thoughts and motives.  He can not have sin in his presence.  God's holiness demands his standards to be perfect.  When we see who God is, we understand who we are - sinful, broken, imperfect and in need of help.

Many times in the Bible when people encounter angels and even God himself, they fall facedown.  When was the last time you fell facedown before God?  When was the last time you spent 15 minutes thinking about who God is and who you are?  So many different parts of our lives will change when we really grasp who God is and what He is demanding of us.
