Listening to Dr. John Barnett today, he hit on a topic with an interesting descriptor, which he identified as "God's Weightlessness!"
What he meant by that is this: When we weigh our devotion, our emotional response to thoughts about God, our dedication to gaming and other a-musements (a=not, and musements=thinking...NOT THINKING), our pursuits for wealth, our desires for notoriety and prestige, our need to always be in the right...on and on the list of spiritual maladies goes, God becomes weightless in the weighted balance of our souls with all those other things having greater and more meaningful weight of importance in our lives!
If you have the time and would like a more in-depth study on this phenomenon, then the following video is a good one, although 46 minutes long - a warning for those who don't have the time or attention span for listening and watching a sermon.
Do you sometimes catch yourself not devoting the necessary time in developing your relationship with the Lord each day. I know I do!
