Matthew 9:8 "When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to men." When was the last time that we were so awestruck by God that we could not think about anything else? When was the last time we were so taken by his amazing glory and wonder that all we could talk about was about Him? Through out the Bible we see people who did amazing things, people who laid they're life on the line for the gospel and people that could not help themselves when it came to talking about Jesus. They wouldn’t stop talking about Jesus even if it meant for them being flogged or beaten. The church of Jesus Christ traded in their worship of a Sovereign God for the temporal glory of this world.  The sad part is that many people do not even recognize that their worship of pleasure has not only robbed them of God's promises and power, but of experiencing something that cannot be described or even weighed.  This is the awesome Glory of God.  Church, there is a worship, a level, an experience with God that can change your life in moment.  The disciples wanted to build a house in it.  Moses refused to go anywhere without it.  And John the Revelator ended his life experiencing it.  It is available to us.  It is available to you and to me. In order to discover these secret things you have to deny the pleasures of the flesh, the enticements of the world and connect to the Father through His Word, worshipping in Spirit and in Truth.   

God your first, the best of your praise. He wants your best.  Let's give God our First in every area of our life.
