"The glory of God is not honored.
The holiness of God is not reverenced.
The greatness of God is not admired.
The power of God is not praised.
The truth of God is not sought.
The wisdom of God is not esteemed.
The beauty of God is not treasured.
The goodness of God is not savored.
The faithfulness of God is no trusted.
The commandments of God are not obeyed.
The justice of God is not feared.
The grace of God is not cherished.
The presence of God is not prized.
The personal God is not loved."
John Piper said this during Resolved conference. After jotting down what he said, the first thing I thought was "wow.. that's a pretty heavy list of to-do things", when in reality, it should be easy for Christians to do these things naturally.
It just put things into perspective for me. Kind of like when you procrastinate last minute, open your book for the first time in weeks, only to realize just how far behind you've gotten. It's time to get back on track.
Saturate my mind and heart with only thoughts of you, Oh Lord.
