Worth Looking Into

I recently decided to start reading through the gospels again. I figured Luke's gospel would be a good place to start.

As so often happens when we read the bible, the Holy Spirit showed me something new. I have read it so many times before, but this time, it was almost as if I were reading it for the first time. The way the angel Gabriel introduced himself to Zechariah, John the Baptist's father. "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God." Wow!
I read that in such wonder. What must it be like to stand, physically, in the presence of God? How awesome that must be! An experience that we all so long for.

The Holy Spirit then reminded me of something in my pondering. 1st Peter 1:10-12.
We, the redeemed, have experienced...are experiencing...something that the angels, who we regard as such holy and mighty beings, are longing for. We have something even more awesome!

God is AWESOME!
