So i made two big official decisions in my life in these last few days:
#1)
(it isnt important at all but im excited!! haha)
Im officially going to develop a selection of EPIC music...and play it during life's boring moments.
like brushing my teeth.
because having epic music in the background while brushing your teeth, all of a sudden makes brushing your teeth EPIC!
ive been thinking about this for a while now..but decided i really want to do it. so im gonna.
okay now that ive gotten my idiotic one out of the way :) ...
#2)
i want to be covered in eyes.
sounds weird...let me explain.
i started to get slightly worked up yesterday. i was sitting in duos and just praying and thinking about how much passion and zeal i have for Him right now.
and all of a sudden a fear rushed over me that i would some day lose that passion.
and i was scared enough that tears were coming to my eyes!!
it really freaked me out.
because i cant imagine not having that passion and love that i do now for Jesus.
But i dont see passion in that many people who are older.
And a- i know that there are plenty of people who still love Jesus like CRAZY..and are also old or older.
b- i know i also always say that any fear that isnt the fear of the Lord, isnt good fear. But i really want to be able to think and walk through this fear.
So i got thinking of the four creatures in Rev 4.
vs 8: "Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under his wings. DAY AND NIGHT THEY NEVER STOPPED SAYING: 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almightly, who was, and is, and is to come.' "
These creatures are currently gazing upon God and are praising him. And have been praising God since eternity started and will be forever and ever! Thats crazy.
But its interesting to start thinking about if these creatures have free will. Because angels did. So would it be possible for one of the creatures to decide..."meh...im done with this..lets go find something/ somehow else to serve."
But the key is- they would never want to leave. BECAUSE THEY ARE COVERED IN EYES. This representing the fact that they can see soo much more of God. Every time they look at Him im sure they see a new facet of his glory...for all of eternity! Over and over again they get to see something new about how amazing our God is. That even if one of those creatures wanted to leave, as they would start to turn away...one of their eyes would catch something new about God they have never realized before and it pulls them right back to saying "Holy holy holy!"
(Now i highly doubt the creatures want to leave in the first place...theyre right dab in middle of the throne room! I dont know if anyone would be able to leave! haha)
So, my heart's prayer is to be covered in eyes.
And im beginning to realize its a pretty bold prayer.
Because it means i constantly want to grow. And the moment i start to feel a dry season, or i start to turn away from gazing upon the glory of God, i want myself (or Him to show me is a better way to say it!) to be able to catch a new facet of Him ive never seen before.
Like Solomon asked for wisdom (which is good and i will always pray for more of that as well) -what i really want is to be able to constantly look at Him and have a new desire and passion opened up in me where i can look at Him and have my mind blown! over and over again. and over again!
I want to be like the creatures..i want to be covered in eyes. Where i can constantly glimpse something new and awesome about Him. And itll just make me worship, love, and serve Him all the more!
Please Jesus, help that become my heart's prayer.
Very awesome post my dear. I think we all can learn from these creature in Revelations. We look at that book mostly and see wrath and destruction...but this is an amazing point to make among the chaos. I pray we can all be covered in eyes!
