"I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person and they with me." Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
This was the main passage that was preached upon on Sunday. I decided to try out a different church that day with one of my roommates, and it was actually pretty good. It was a very small congregation of maybe 20 people. The main thing I took away from this sermon is that we should treat our relationship with God like He is the King. As part of respect, as He is our creator, and because it is rude not to focus on someone we are dining with. We are so distracted by television, internet, our cell phones, that we don't pray or read the Bible often enough, and we just leave God to when we're in times of need, or when we've hit rock bottom. What kind of relationship is this? God, our King and Creator wants to spend time with us, wants to develop us, wants to bless us and love us... and in return, we ignore Him until we need something? This verse says that God is always present and waiting for us to let Him in to eat with us. The privilege of eating with the King is not something we should take lightly. Remember why we are on Earth. Remember who it is that we will be standing before when the world ends. Are the things of this world really more important than God's mission? Than serving Him and making use of the gifts He has blessed us with?
