What Are Your Expectations For Today?

It is Sunday morning and I am all dressed and ready for church. Normally I would say this this is a just like any other church, but today it is a little more special. I am in Naples, Florida at a Ritz-Carlton Resort and am about to go downstairs and have a worship service/prayer time lead by Henry Blackaby - author of the book Experiencing God. I have a tremendous respect for him as I have gone through the workbook with a group of guys in a Bible study as well as have gone through a two month long video course through Christ@Work lead by him. The respect and reverence is deserved.

As I am sitting on the desk reading my Bible and praying earlier this morning, the only thing I could hear in my brain resonating loudly was how much more God deserves our excitement and attraction from our heart. God is the Alpha and the Omega, the creater of the earth and longs each and every day to have an appointment with me personally. If I can be excited to meet with Henry Blackaby, how much more should I be excited to come before the thrown of God and meet up with him. Amazingly, he is equally as excited to meet up with me!!!

So the question before you today is the following: What are you excited for today as you go to church? As you head towards Church as you approaching the experience with great anticipation to see a mighty movement from the God or are you just going through the motions and far more excited to get home so you can get back into bed or watch a football game? Are you prepared to come before the Lord in humility and asking Him to show any part of your heart that needs to be cleansed and refined? Have you taken a moment to pray together as husband and wife before we head to church to pray for God's leadership, guidance, and direction?

I pray you have an amazing day today and please know that April and I will be praying for each and every one of you today. May God touch you in a might way.
