I found an interesting pattern in the author’s chapter titles that I wholeheartedly agree with. First,
we must know and believe in the one true God. Second, we can take comfort in believing that
our God has all power and does not change. Third, there is also peace in knowing He resides
everywhere, even where there is evil. Lastly, when we’ve soaked up the previous attributes,
holiness is the anchor that holds everything together.
2 things that feel like principles I need to pay attention to jumped out to me. First, “Our worship
must be right if it is to be accepted” (Ch. 5, 1st pp). Second, “We get into trouble when we try to
make God too much like what we know” (Ch. 6, 1st heading). I am guilty of just going through
the motions of worship and not making sure what I’m doing is correct. And too often attach
human qualities to God when I shouldn’t.
So, I feel that the actions God would have me take in my worship is to pay attention to what
I’m physically doing, so my efforts are not in vain. And for the second part, my notable quote at
the beginning reminded me of something my former pastor said often. He did not want to serve
a God that he could understand. So, I need to be careful that I’m not lowering God to my human
level of understanding and thus limiting Him to a place He does not belong.
