I was at Wal-mart today and was chatting with a woman who knew Walter from school.  We talked about the importance of Christian teachers.

We were talking about the faith of a child, and how when we grow up to adults, we often take the Word in an egocentric manner.

We grown ups often read, hear the Word of God and immediately start thinking of ...ourselves.
What does the Gospel say for me?
How do this apply to me, how can I apply this to my life? (which are good questions)
What has God done for me?  What will God do for me?
How can God heal me?  and on and on

I find Walter and Carrie asking different questions.
Who is God? 
Does God still love the devil?  (Oh yes, Walter asked me that when he was five!)
Does God get mad?

They want to know more about who God is.
What does He look like?  What is heaven like? 

I look around at creation and see God - the trees, the sunset, the wings of a butterfly...but I don't always go to the Word to see who He is.
I read the Word and try to learn something, but I don't always go seeking to find out who He is.

One day years ago, I started going through Psalms and I underlined any word that God was.  I may need to go back to that and remind myself of who God is, and in that may I find myself in awe of this amazingly BIG God who is everywhere, everywhere in a spacial sense and everywhere in a time sense.  And may it humble me that this God of wonder and majestic above the wisest and most powerful of kings...chooses to have me as his daughter and heir to the throne.
