He Ain’t Moving, But You Must

What I felt God whisper in my ear was, “People come to church to make Me move. But I’m not moving! You have to move!”

While ridding home the other day, I had a moment, an epiphany. It was as if God rolled down the car window and gave me directions to where I need to go.

If I want more, then I have to move to the most humbling position, but the most comfortable position...the place of submission. What commands God is not my exaggerated praise, but my submitted worship.

Many times Christians go to church with the unconfessed intention of moving God to meet our needs. We never say that. But we come with that attitude. We come to church and because we have a few problems in our life, we plop down on the pew and wait for God to come and move us from our seat.

What arrogance! What foolish, pompous arrogance we humans allow to enter our heart. Does it not occur to us that it’s His house that we come to every service time?

God is not going to move anywhere. He is where He is supposed to be. He is waiting for us to move to where He is. If we don’t move just because we don’t “feel” God, then we show our true selfish “God, I had a bad week. So I need you to come over here and shake me until and ungrateful attitude. We become like I feel your spirit move on me. Then I will spoiled brats who have been given everything but not satisfied with get up and worship you.” anything.

Worship is not for the self absorbed, prideful and conceited individual. It’s far to embarrassing for them. It is, however, for those who have nothing to loose, but so much to gain by finding refuge in the most refreshing place there is...bowed down in His presence. After all, that’s what we were created for. -Mel A. Perry. Mel serves as Global Relations Director and Assistant Pastor of NLTC
