One magnificant obsession

What has captured your attention today?  Of the 1440 minutes today, how many will you spend contemplating your Maker?  

"Meditation is the activity of calling to mind, and thinking over, and dwelling on, and applying to oneself, the various things that one knows about the works and ways and purposes and promises of God.  It is an activity of holy thought, consciously performed in the presence of God, under the eye of God, by the help of God, as a means of communion with God." J.I. Packer "Knowing God" pg. 23

If you are going to be obsessed today with anything let it be your contemplation of the One True God, creator and sustainer of the universe.  Psalm 145:5 On the glorious splendor of your majesty,and on your wondrous works, I will meditate.

One Pure and Holy Passion (by Watermark)
Give me one pure and holy passion 
Give me one magnificent obsession 
Give me one glorious ambition for my life 
To know and follow hard after You 

Jesus, this is my prayer.
