Delight in God

When you take delivery of a new car that you will use every day, you know that despite it being fully within your ability, it would take exceptional effort and care to keep the vehicle year after year looking and operating like that gleaming new car. Everything in this life has a natural tendency to slowly lose its sparkle, and to resist this tendency takes continual effort. Relationships are no exception. The natural tendency of every relationship, even one with our perfect Lord, is for it to lose its gloss. So although relationships can actually grow richer through the years, it takes continual effort to fight the downward trend.

The Lord of glory will never lose his gloss. We will never discover hidden weaknesses or character flaws or bad habits in God. He never grows old or gets boring. His strength and beauty and power to amaze never fade. With our boundless Lord, the more wonders we discover, the more there is to discover. He remains as fresh and as perfect and exciting as ever. In this tendency for our relationship with God to cool, the problem is never God. The problem is our perception of God. And unless we actively and persistently keep resisting it, our perception of God will keep deteriorating, not merely for natural reasons, but for supernatural reasons.
