" I think we might have stored the holiness of God in short-term memory. We shoot the dart against the wall every once in a while, but it always just falls away. We have such lovely intentions at times and turn the vehicle down that road, and then we forget we were heading to the feet of the king. We've become uncomfortably numb to the truth that our destination is the feet of the Holy Other-Than Transcendent Creator King of All Heaven and Earth. We are numb and uncomfortably content. We've built churches and sermons to make Him tame and accessible, to make Him seem approachable as one who fits neatly into our lives, and we forget that His is the voice of thunder and lightning. Our comfort is unsettling. Is is an uncomfortable comfort. ...
Let praise come face to the ground, trembling with life and awareness that we are found by a holy God."
-David Crowder, Praise Habit
