I don't want to run this book in the ground, but WOW! I finished it last night and was so disappointed that it was over. I have ordered Mark Batterson's next book, Wild Goose Chase, and am hoping it is in my mailbox today. I also went to his blog today...check it out...awesome. He is most definitely a LION CHASER!
Are you a praiser and worshiper? If your not...become one! You won't be sorry.
Here is another tidbit from his book that I just loved.
If we had ultrasonic hearing that allowed us to tune in to heaven's frequency and hear angels singing, the music would literally lift us off our feet. I'm guessing we'd dance like David danced.
I think David gives us a picture of pure worship in 2 Samuel 6. Worship is disrobing. It is taking off those things outside our relationship with Christ that we find our identity and security in. It is a reminder that our royal robes are like "filthy rags". It's not about what we can do for God. It's about what God has done for us. And that understanding produces the greatest freedom in the world: having nothing to prove. Instead of trying to prove himself as the King of Israel, David was consumed with worshiping the King of Kings. - another tidbit from In A Pit With A Lion On a Snowy Day.
I WANT TO DANCE LIKE DAVID! Don't you?
