In A.W. Tozer's book Knowledge of the Holy, he speaks wonders on the nature of God and our response as His creation. In his chapter on God's divine transcendence, Tozer says this:

"If some watcher or holy one who has spent his glad centuries by the sea of fire were to come to earth, how meaningless to him would be the ceaseless chatter of the busy tribes of men. How strange to him and how empty would sound the flat, stale, and profitless words heard in the average pulpit from week to week. And were such a one to speak on earth would he not speak of God? Would he not charm and fascinate his hearers with rapturous descriptions of the Godhead? And after hearing him could we ever again consent to listen to anything less than theology, the doctrine of God? Would we not thereafter demand of those who would presume to teach us that they speak to us from the mount of divine vision or remain silent altogether?".....he then goes on to name men of the Bible who feared the Lord and were altogether undone in His presence, and continues with..." These experience show that a vision of the divine transcendence soon ends all controversy between the man and His God. The fight goes out the man and he is ready with the conquered Saul to ask meekly, "Lord, what wilt thou have me do?" Conversely, the self-assurance of modern Christians, the basic levity present in so many of our religious gatherings, the shocking disrespect shown for the Person of God, are evidence enough of deep blindness of heart. Many call themselves by the name of Christ, talk much about God, and pray to Him sometimes, but evidently do not know who He is. 'The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life,' but this healin fear is today hardly found among Christian men."

How true is this? Men of the Bible had a dreadful fear of God, one that drove them to lie prostrate in His presence and hide their faces from His glory. Peter and John in Acts 4 told those accusing them: "we cannot help but speak of what we have seen and heard." In contrast, we modern Christians fail to recognize the omnipotent power of God, and rarely find a need to speak of Him.

We must join the Christians described in 2 Cor. 4: 5 in that "What we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord" and speak nothing but of Christ and Him crucified.

It's all we have to bank on. Christ is the only faithful one. We must stop our useless chatter and have God-centered thoughts and speech. We must stop our self-reliance and humble ourselves at the foot of the cross.

Our days our short, the time is evil, and Christ is all we have. Why wouldn't we think constantly of Him, our salvation and blood bought way to the Father?

"For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. On God rests my salvation and my glory; my mighty rock, my refuge is God." Psalm 62: 5-7
