An Audience of One

 We enjoyed some pretty intense worship last night at Beach Camp. The students willingly entered the courts with praise and the gates with thanksgiving. I sat in my chair and bowed my head. It really came home for me that God was the only audience that mattered. An audience of One. 

It is Him that I am after. I am following hard after Him in private prayer, corporate worship, and on beach walks and views. He is the only one in the audience I desire. He is the One and only One I live for and worship. 

We traveled all this way to get away from distractions to a place where we can seek and worship the King of Kings. All else fades in the light of Him. This whole beach is His sandbox and this ocean like a kiddie pool to Him. It is Him that we are after. It is His heart and mind that we seek. There is a deep yearning for transformation. A gut wrenching hunger for more of Him. Nothing less will ever satisfy our sin parched souls. Nothing less than God Himself. 

He is why we packed bags, drove hundreds of miles across five states to get to this place. We yearn for God encounters. We love, worship, and pray to an audience of One. He will not disappoint. He told us that we would find Him if we searched for Him with all of our hearts. [Jer 29:13] The students are challenged this week to give that God 100%.  

Let me ask you back home, do you have that same longing to meet with an audience of One. In your private devotions, in your daily routines? May these students not get more excited for God than their families back home. We can all live, worship, pray, and serve for an audience of One. No matter if we are in Florida or back home in Texas.
