“Stop Praying” - Crazy Love by Francis Chan What if I said, “Stop praying”? What if I told you to stop talking at God for a while, but instead to take a long, hard look at Him before you speak another word? Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do. The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him. It may seem like a hopeless endeavor, to gaze at the invisible God. But Romans 1:20 tells us that through creation, we see His “invisible qualities” and “divine nature.” Let’s begin this reading plan by gazing at God in silence. Go ahead and watch the video. Speechless? Amazed? Humbled? When I first saw those images, I had to worship. I didn’t want to speak to or share it with anyone. I just wanted to sit quietly and admire the Creator. R. C. Sproul writes, “Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God.” * How long has it been since you have merely meditated on the greatness and majesty of God? What practice can you put in place to make this reverence and awe a part of your daily life?
