“…But the basic reality of God is plain enough.
Open your eyes and there it is!
By taking a long and thoughtful look at what
God has created, people have always been able to see what
their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power,
for instance, and the mystery of his divine being.
So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this:
People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t
treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they
trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion
so that there was neither sense
nor direction left in their lives.
They pretended to know it all,
but were illiterate regarding life.
They traded the glory of God who holds the
whole world in his hands for cheap figurines
you can buy at any roadside stand.”
Romans 1:18-23 MSG
Do I treat God like God?
Do I trivialize my relationship with God?
Do I base my worship in how I feel rather than what He deserves?
Do I base my level of love on what He has done for me lately?
What if God were to do nothing else (knowing He already gave us His Son) for me the rest of my life?
Would my love for my Savior remain unchanged?
