Fall Down

Ezekiel 1:28 "...This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord.  When I saw it, I fell facedown..."

The Jews are in captivity in Babylon and Ezekiel sees a vision of God.  Ezekiel describes the vision and his response upon seeing this vision, is to fall "facedown."

I have been reading a lot of scripture lately-through the Bible as well as some of my "Route 66" readings.  I rarely fall down though.  In fact, I haven't fallen down once.  Daily I am in the presence of God and his word, yet I never fall down.  Ezekiel fell down.  He fell down due to God's glory and power.  But I never fall down.  What am I missing?  What do I lack?  Am I not getting it?  I need God's word to become less of a textbook to me.  I need God's word to transform me and change me.  Today I need to read it and truly hear what He has to say to me.

Dear Jesus, thank you for your word.  Help me fall down today.  Amen.
