Fascination

Ive been just getting run over by Revelation 4:10 where it talks about how the elders throw themselves down at Jesus feet and cast their crowns before His throne. And I have just been thinking that the reason they do that is because the glory of God is more than they can handle. Its like He is constantly revealing more of Himself (parts of Him we as humans CANNOT even understand or imagaine wouold exist in Him) to them. He is fascinting (sp?) their hearts and they cannot handle the greatness and power of Him who sits on the throne.

They are so overwhelmed they cannot stay on their feet…all they can do is throw themselves down before His feet and worship and adore Him.

And God has been really challenging me to do just that. Let him fascinate your heart. Let Him blow your mind away with His goodness and His power.If we abandon ourselves to Him He will be faithful to reveal Himself. I think God gets the biggest kick out of it when we discover some hidden thing in Him. (Colossians says that in Him are HIDDEN all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.)

I bet God sits up there just laughing and rejoicing when He reveals some new aspect of Hinself to us. In my minds eye I see Him dancing around and just rejoicing because we have finally quieted ourselves long enough to let Him fascinate our hearts. As humans we love to be fascinated (note: we love to watch movies that 'fascinate' us, do rollercoasters, etc because these things fascinate us.) We love to have our hearts fascinated. This is a gift God has placed inside us for a specific reason. He has placed this little space in our hearts where He will fascinate us with Himself.

My challenge today is just to LET GOD FASCINATE YOU TODAY! He desires to do so…He wants to see you in tears at His feet because you have just seen some hidden part of Him you would never in your wildest dreams have thought existed. So just get quiet before him and allow Him to fascinate your heart today.
