Stirred By The Scriptures

One of my prayers every time we gather as a church is “that we would see who God is with greater clarity.” I am sure I make that request because it is what I need. One of the many places I wrestle with is shaping God into who I want him to be.  It is not necessarily a bold redesign but a subtle tweaking.  Why do I do that?  Perhaps more than anything it is so I don’t have to make any adjustments to my own life.  Truth is I often think I could run my life better than God so I seek to get him to cooperate. Sounds pretty arrogant - it is.  You see that is why I pray that prayer.  Job said it best when after seeing God and having a “face to face” he concluded:
“My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.  Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes.”“Oh God, let me see you.”
