I UNDERSTAND THAT LOOK

OH, gawd, Really?  That's the Truth, I swear to gawd (for reverence I will not disrespect our LORD by using HIS  Name)!  Or being "cool" and making a "statement" of personal Pride during Church or Giving Thanks at the dinner table.  My dad used to have a look that could pierce right through you as if to say, "You have no clue and I won't waste my time with your "Prideful Ignorance".  But then again, "what did he know"?  I was the "educated" one!  My actions and speech reflected Rebellion not Reverence for anything, let alone GOD.  If I didn't have reverence for GOD, how could I have respect for anyone else?  This is probably what brought about "THE LOOK" from my dad.  Isaiah 6:1-3, "...in the presence of the LORD...the seraphim covered his face..."  Think about this; these seraphim are perfect, unfallen, powerful, angelic beings, and yet they show more reverence for GOD than we mortals!  I am grieved that today, that we do not understand (including many of our Churches) what A HOLY GOD we worship.  How can we Worship what we don't Revere and Respect?  I am beginning to UNDERSTAND THAT LOOK.
