Thoughts About God/ Magnificence

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us."
AW TOZER, The Knowledge of the Holy

I am at OneThing 2011, a Christian event put on by the International House of Prayer in Kansas City (IHOP-KC ), the theme of this OneThing event is JESUS OUR MAGNIFICENT OBSESSION. Mike Bickle, a founder of this ministry, is challenging our thoughts about God. He mentioned that as a teenager, his youth mentor told him he could not become a mature Christian without growing in the knowledge of who God is...
He mused during tonight's session about his shock as a young, on fire Christian in college: since he wanted to really know God, he went around to mature older Christians and asked them to share with him about the attributes and nature of the Lord, he was met with ignorance, that most also had no idea either.

I've thought a lot about God in my life, at some times more than others (even when I said I didn't believe in Him I was thinking about Him!), but the late author A.W. TOZER made that above statement straightaway in the first chapter of his book.
It is the essence of the question of what God asks: "Who do you really say that I am?"
So I ask you the question, as the Lord continues to ask me, moment by moment, day by day:
Who is God to you, and how do you really, deep down inside, think of Him, and beyond that,,how does what you think about God impact your living, and your life?
Is He just an appliance to you, the One who does things for you- healing, blessing, prospering, protecting, etc., your genie, but as to relating to Him, you still consider Him distant and unapproachable?
Do you put Him on a shelf of your life, in storage, as you try to cover Him up when willfully being disobedient, doing, saying, and thinking things that have no place in a Christian's life, using grace like a blanket while you take license, and then take Him down from the shelf, seeking His help, direction, and deliverance when situations are dire?
Or do you see Him, really see Him, adore and worship Him, in His surpassing beauty, have you trashed all the idols as the veil has been torn away, looking upon His majesty and just how high and lifted up He deserves to be, and He really is?
In your brokenness and humility, hungering after Him, have you been blessed to see what the angels and the twenty four elders see, as they cast their crowns before Him (a metaphor proclaiming how vastly more valuable Jesus is compared to everything else), proclaiming HOLY HOLY HOLY forever and forever, as someday we will get to wjoin them, to worship and adore Him.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."
John 12:32

Jesus is more than enough, all that we need, the only worthwhile and acceptable Obsession, what we are created for, this Obsession created to be lived out in spirit and truth.
Today beloved, continue to seek Him, and the Answer to this most important Question.
