“Are We Really Thrilled?”
Psalm 92:4 NLT
You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me! I sing for joy because of what you have done.

We get thrilled about a lot of things in life, don’t we? Just take a few moments and think about some of the times in life when you found yourself getting really thrilled and psyched up about different things. We all get excited, pumped up and thrilled about a lot of things in life. It’s a great feeling when we get excited about certain events coming up, people we are going to see and places we may visit.

As a kid, I really got into roller coasters as theme parks. I loved the thrills of going fast, going long and going upside down! The adrenaline rush of going on rides lasted all through my young life. I don’t do this as much anymore, but would still like to. I also think about going to different restaurants where I know I’m going to get a great meal. Or how about coffee shops I go to with excitement to get a blended iced or hot drink? Starbucks and Caribou, here I come!!! There are certain places we go as a family and I’m so excited to get there. One of my favorite destinations is Duluth, MN. It’s absolutely breathtaking each time we go and it never gets old!

I or we could all list so many different ways we get thrilled about things in life. While there’s nothing at all wrong with getting excited about different things, places, foods, drinks, people and such, sometimes we need to reconsider how thrilled we are getting about these things compared to our thrill about God. It’s so easy for us to get thrilled about different things of this world, but so often we tend to get less thrilled about our relationship with God.

I read about, watch movies about and see video clips of others who get totally worked up and thrilled about God and all He is doing in their lives. Just from the reactions and ways they are, I can tell they are really psyched about God. Often I think to myself, “Am I like that? Do I get that excited?” Too often, I cringe at my answer of “Ummm….maybe…not as much”.

I am reminded that every single day, I should be the most thrilled, excited, worked up and psyched about following God! He should be the biggest thrill of our lives. Nothing else should even come close! However, too often other things do. Maybe in the coming days, weeks and months, we should all be reminded about this when we get excited about something in life. Just take a few moments and consider if you would get this excited or even more about God? Just something for us to consider as we move forward in our lives.

Are we really thrilled about God? I hope we all are!

The LORD has done wonders in my life and I find new reasons to thank him for the new things, all the time. It is knowing how much and why the LORD has caused me to be thrilled in love and joy in what I do and think that amazes me, I would say nearly every day living in the Spirit.

Stepping out in faith is one of the most thrilling things Ive ever done. When its time to witness, my blood rushes. When I finally work up the courage to speak about God, its such a joy.
