Recently, I saw a young man on television who seemed
to be a bit embarrassed by the simple, quaint connections to God that were part
of his life. On the TV program the young man was with some very hip, very cool
people—heavy hitters in the entertainment industry—and I think, perhaps, his association
with God may have made him feel un-hip and un-cool in his current rarefied
setting.
It’s interesting that beings who are completely
dependent on God for their very existence could consider Him to be slightly
embarrassing, isn’t it?
As I watched the program I found myself trying to
encourage the young man, in my mind.
“Don’t be embarrassed,” I was directing these
thoughts to the young man. “There is nothing these people have, nothing they
think, nothing they can do and nothing they can offer you that is more
important than God or more important than knowing Him.”
You might be thinking, “Dan, he couldn’t hear your
thoughts.”
I know. But come on, do you really have to rub it
in?
"What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord..." Philippians 3:8
