Just a Glimpse

I didn't go to sleep last night. For the past week or so, I have been on a TERRIBLE sleep schedule - staying up until the wee hours of the morning and sleeping into the afternoon. So last night, I decided I just wouldn't go to sleep, and that way I can go to sleep early tonight.
So I came to Bluestem to be productive and get all my homework done.
Problem.
I forgot the notebook I need to do 98% of the homework that I have.
So instead, I had a great time with Jesus. This morning was exceptionally great. I think maybe because I haven't been spending quality time with Him, and I was so thirsty for it.
Here's some of the stuff that was great about Him this morning:

He gave me chills because of Hebrews 10:28-31: "Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. How much worse the punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has spurned the Son of God, and has profaned the blood covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, 'Vengeance is mine; I will repay.' And again, 'The Lord will judge his people.' It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."
God deserves my fear.

He made me laugh because of Proverbs 27:14 - "Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing."
Because I have most definitely interpreted my, uh, neighbors intended morning blessings, as curses.

He inspired me with Hebrews 10:23-25, "Let us hold fast to the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

God is so great.
