Seeing God as He Is

When we focus on something, we lose focus on other things.
Posture portrays attitude.
Humility is seeing God as He is. – Louie Giglio
Jesus modeled perfect humility for us.
Biblical worship comes from a posture of humility.
Harold Best describes worship as a continuous outpouring. We are
not created to worship God. That implies that God is somehow
incomplete and needs our worship in order to be complete. Neither
are we created for worship, because that would suggest that we
can choose to worship or not. Instead, we are created as
worshippers
Mark Driscoll and Gerry Breshears build on that to say, “…we are
continually giving ourselves away or pouring ourselves out for a
person, cause, experience, achievement, or status.”
Tim Keller describes sin as the “refusal to find your deepest
identity in your relationship and service to God… Most people
think of sin primarily as ‘breaking divine rules,’ but… the very
first of the Ten Commandments is to ‘have no other gods before
me.’ So according to the Bible, the primary way to define sin is
not just the doing of bad things, but the making of good things
into ultimate things. It is seeking to establish a sense of self
by making something else more central to your significance,
purpose, and happiness than your relationship to God.”
Eventually, anything that we put in place of God will crumble
under the weight of being god to us.
