How great is our God! As I sit in my office today tying up all of the various task I had this week I can’t help but pause and reflect on the majesty of our Creator. There is a hint of fall in the air outside. The Sun is shining brightly through my window and there is a coolness in the air (it’s only 79 degrees outside right now) that teases me. I love the fall! Football games on television, family gatherings, and all of the warm colors of the fall foliage.
This Fall will be especially blessed this year as I get to experience it through the eyes and expressions of Ava. She will be just starting to experience baby food as thanksgiving approaches this year. What a time to come of age. She will be at the table joining in our feast, enjoying many of the same foods we are, albeit in a much different form, for the first time. The sights the smells the sounds of the fall season and the holidays will all be a brand new experience for her. I can’t wait.
I think that this must be at least partially what Jesus meant when he said we must approach Him as little children. Not that we should act like children or that we should come as helpless as infants, but that we should approach Him with total abandon, as if everything were new and fresh, with complete trust and reliance. May every word of God cross our palate and excite us as it did the first time we read it. May every blessing he pours out upon us be greeted with awe and wonder as though we had never beheld His greatness before. May we never become so accustomed to God that we become blasé and miss all of the amazing flavors he brings to our lives!
