Many are the promises of God for the children of men. He invites us to know Him and to dwell with Him. To fellowship with Him and to abide in Him. To live a life of holiness and splendid Glory. Not only that, but to some, He gives the title of sonship.

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).

If God wraps Himself in splendor, what does that make His children? Deep inside, our spirit testifies to this. When we don’t experience it, we compromise for a lesser experience of wonder. If we knew what the Lord has in store for us and what He wants us to experience, we would change the way we live and the way we pursue Him.

Most of us seek thrills and breath-taking experiences to fill our longing for wonder and excitement. We pay for rides, substances, and anything else that brings excitement and thrill. The greater the danger, the greater the ecstasy and more fulfilling the enjoyment. All this hunger for fascination is our spirit manifesting a testament to the truth that we were created to dwell with God and in His Glory.

What would it be like to walk with God? To have Him come to us in a close proximity. To where we can hear Him, or better yet, see Him and be captivated by His Glory. What would it be like to have Him in our domain like He was around Adam and Eve in the garden?

“And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden” (Genesis 3:8).

When we experience this Glory, would we ever settle for a lesser fascination? Would we even go back, knowing there is no comparison to the knowledge of God?

The scriptures often depict episodes where God, in His kindness, walks and shares His Glory with the children of men. I wonder if those who respond are the only ones who know what they are invited to. I wonder if they are the only ones who are no longer satisfied with other fascinations.

“Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:24).

The Bible said that Enoch walked with God and he was no more. How glorious would that be for me to walk with Him until I am no more. Nothing of me left, no desire and no will. Everything contained in my frame is Him. To have the reality of what Paul spoke of….

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me” (Galatians 2:20).

I can’t settle for less. Anything other than the glory of God is settling for less. Just a glance of the real face of Jesus will cause a grown man to have an involuntary flood of bodily fluids. I can’t find anything else that does that. I can’t settle for less than the knowledge of the fullness of God.
