My book Disappointment With God explores three questions many
Christians ask: Is God hidden? Is God silent? Is God unfair? It struck
me that those questions did not trouble the Hebrews in the Sinai
wilderness. They saw evidence of God every day, heard Him speak, and
lived under a contract signed in His own hand. Out of this relationship
emerged a great gift from the Jews to the world: monotheism—the belief
in one sovereign, holy God.Today many treat God like a cosmic good buddy. We could use a refresher course from the Old Testament on God’s majesty.Pastor
Gordon MacDonald writes, “The most costly sins I have committed came at
a time when I briefly suspended my reverence for God. . . . I quietly
(and insanely) concluded that God didn’t care and most likely wouldn’t
intervene were I to risk the violation of one of His commandments.”MacDonald
says his own love for God has moved away from a sentimental model,
which never satisfied him, to something closer to a father/son model.
He is learning to reverence, obey, and thank God; to express
appropriate sorrow for sin; to pursue a quietness in which he might
hear God whisper. He seeks a relationship with God appropriate to the
profound difference between the two parties.As God’s children,
we may “come boldly to the throne of grace” (Heb. 4:16). But let us
ever be mindful of our Father’s inestimable majesty.  — Philip Yancey


To worship is to recognize the supreme worth of God.

Everyone has a different way we look at God, but what is agreed upon is He is the Almighty. I never want to put a limit on what He can do not only for me but for everyone. I believe that He can do whatever He wants within Biblical promises of course. No matter how we approach God we should always embrace Him as our Father and treat Him with the respect accordingly.  Just because He's the almighty doesn't mean we can't approach with anything.
