Psalm 63:1-8;  1O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 3Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. 5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 6when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 7for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. 8My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.

Do you have that kind of Love for Christ? Do you have the kind of love that would drive you to travel hours just for a glimpse of Him? Do you have the kind of love or sense of awe and worship that the teeny-boppers had for the Beatles back in the '60's? Remember how crazed the youth were every time they would step off a bus or a plane? So enamored with them that there would have to be a full medical staff constantly in wait for all those who fainted when they just saw a glimpse of them through a fence?

This kind of love is so over the top that nothing else matters, not food, not drink not any one thing, because our heart is speaking to us. There is no rationale here. Only a driving purpose to see the object of our desire.

So what happens to the church when we as Christians take that approach towards our Jesus? What happens to worship on Sunday mornings when we put Him on the top of our list of priorities? An outpouring of the Holy Spirit like none of us has ever seen, that's what will happen!

People will no longer be making plans for lunch during the worship service. If we come to church prepared to encounter the Holy God, setting our alarm early so that we can be PRAYED-UP before we ever enter the doors of the sanctuary! If our desire to encounter Him is true, then we will be willing to make the sacrifice of the extra sleep. I know in my family, the evil one tries to use Sunday mornings before church as an opportunity to disengage us from the Lord through petty arguments about clothing or coffee or_________, and we struggle with it weekly.

Even though we have read the 'ending to the story' and 'know the victory is ours' why do we allow him to come in and get us off track? And now for the even tougher question, If we allow him to do that on Sunday when we choose to worship corporately as a family, how much more disruptive have we allowed him to be in our daily personal worship?

That is a tough questions that many of us, like me, have a quicker answer to than we want to admit. So I urge us all, this New Year, this new day, this new minute to seek Him.

Over the last week we did a VBS with the children of a small church in Piedras Negras, Mexico. They played a song that had the words, (English) Christ is my Super Hero, about 900 times. I heard it so many times that the words became bland to me, but this morning God woke me up with those words in my head, and it dawned on my, is Jesus my super-hero? Is He the object of my desire? Do I put Him in front of everything else or do I just tune Him out like the song?

So let's make it our mantra that Jesus is our Super-Hero, that He truly is the one that we seek out and search for in all circumstances and in all things, going out of our way to find Him and hear Him!
