Are You Sitting or Kneeling?

Paradigm was last night. It was filled with great worship and a great word from Pastor Nick. We even started a new series entitled Red Letters.
I knelt down during one of the songs that was really hitting me and when I stood I thought, "Next time, I'm just gonna sit on the chair. I can't feel my legs!"
So then I felt like God was saying, "How many times do you sit before me instead of kneeling?"
I kinda stored it away and kept it on my mind for the night, pondering what all God was saying through it.
I didn't even realize until I got home that it went right along with Pastor Nick's message.
He spoke about cohabitation and how many couples are choosing it instead of marriage. Why? They're afraid of commitment. They want all the perks of marriage without having to give anything. They have their own money, their own stuff, and their freedom. Whereas in marriage, the two become one- as it was meant to be.
He went on to say that often times we do the same thing. We want all the perks of Christianity, like getting our prayers answered and getting to hang out with all the cool people at church, listen to the rockin' music, and sometimes even get free stuff! But when it comes to getting devoted, when God tells you to give up something for Him, or persecution comes- we say, "Hey, that's not what I signed up for!"
So he said that many in our generation are cohabitating with God instead of getting married to Him?
God told me that we're also sitting in front of Him instead of kneeling before Him.
Kneeling is that position of surrender. The one that says, "God, I'm giving this to you. It's not mine anymore, because my life is yours."
When we kneel before the Lord we are showing Him the respect we deserve. Oftentimes, people downplay God as their best friend. And while it's great to call Him that and understand that that's one aspect of Him, that's not the whole of who He is. He's our Lover, our Savior, our King. And those titles demand respect, not a slap on the back. (This is also similar to what Kerri said in Pre-service Prayer)
Sitting is saying that we're comfortable with what's going on. God's presence is no big deal and not worth any more effort than lounging back.
So my question to you is, are you sitting are kneeling? Is God worth your time or is Christianity just another accessory that makes you look cooler? Are you willing to get down on your knees for your Savior?
Have a blessed day!
