Session 9 – Paul David Washer

• I submit to you that David was not the most clean among God's people. He was not the most orderly or tidy with regard to the law of God. He did not dot every i nor did he cross every t but no one had a heart like him.  

• You may be as clean and precise and civilized and respectable in your reformed Christian life and not at all be pleasing to God. 

• Do you know Him enough to honor Him?

• Is your heart so given?
  

• Or would you trade the seeking after God for a good book?

• Would you trade the seeking after God for a TV or a radio program or this or that?

Session 9 – Paul David Washer

• Isn't that a horrid thing to say about ourselves? I mean if we were to commit a crime I would have to say that being able to delight in almost anything other than just tarrying in the presence of God is the worst crime.

• I do not want anything from God but God!

• Do you remember when that governed your life as a new believer?

• Or did it ever govern your life?

• When the only thing you thought about was Him, that was it.

• You had no greater aspirations of being used, no desire for greater ministry.

• You just wanted Him.
  

• Remember when you got into the word and it wasn't because you had a sermon to prepare or you needed to learn some things or there were some doctrinal problems or you knew that to progress as a useful servant you had to continue on in the things of the word of God?

• Do you remember when you just got into the word because you wanted to hear something from God?

• You wanted to know something about Him.

• Do you remember when you just prayed because of Him?

• Is a heart burning for Him?

• Who are You? I want to know You.

• We should not be pleased when we've preached a good sermon.

• I must leave Him and come to you. I must leave you in a few minutes and go back to Him.

• The midnight watch will be dear.

• Help me Lord and I will be helped.

The Glory of God - The Heavens Declare His Glory

Psalms 19:1-2  
 1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
   And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.   
2 Day to day pours forth speech,
   And night to night reveals knowledge.

Romans 1:20-23
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,

23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
