At times it is easy to underestimate the power of God; the fact that He is KING, that He rules supreme and that nothing....NOTHING is comparable to Him. I like to take time and reflect on God's kingly being, to understand what a GREAT KING He is, and that He, in all His almighty majesty and power has chosen someone like me to be one of His children.
He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the KING of Kings and the LORD of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honour and and everlasting power. (1 Timothy 6:15-16)
It is so easy to forget this aspect of God, especially when we are encouraged to come before Him as a friend to pour out our hearts before Him, to speak to Him in the same open manner as we would to our friends. While this is not at all wrong, we have to remember the One who we are talking to, the One to whom we owe our entire lives. He is not an ordinary 'friend'. He is King of the universe. He is KING of Kings in all majesty, greatness and power.
If we were to talk to the queen, or another member of royalty, we would address them in an appropriate manner, showing them due respect and honour.
Think then of God who is King; His likeness in royalty is no where near that of the Queen. God is God; He is THE King, and there is NONE like Him.
So then when it comes down to us, we ought to show the highest respect possible to God. In this regard we must make every effort to concentrate when reading from the bible, to pay attention through the entire church service, to sing with our hearts the psalms and songs that speak of Him. Put away your phone when studying His word, don't be distracted. Our lives cannot be a half hearted worship of Him. He deserves us in entirety; ALL that we are belongs to Him.
