LOL Fun and Faith - Message from Roxanne - WofH Community Leader
Psalm 51 "Delight yourself in the Lord"
From John Piper's book Desiring God...
"Once we had no delight in God, and Christ was just a vague historical figure. What we enjoyed was food and friendships and productivity and investments and vacations and hobbies and games and reading and shopping and sex and sports and art and TV and travel.. . but not God. He was an idea - even a good one - and a topic for discussion; but He was not a treasure of delight.
"Then something miraculous happened. It was like the opening of the eyes of the blind during the golden dawn. First the stunned silence before the unspeakable beauty of holiness. Then the shock and terror that we had actually loved the darkness. Then the settling stillness of joy that this is the soul's end. The quest is over. We would give anything if we might be granted to live in the presence of this glory forever and ever.
"And then, faith - the confidence that Christ has made a way for me, a sinner, to live in His glorious fellowship forever, the confidence that if I come to God through Christ, He will give the desire of my heart to share his holiness and behold His glory."
I love how the last paragraph so nicely tie togethers our faith proclamation portion of Trusting in Jesus and our morning of having fun and enjoying God in our faith!
