Consider him

Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: let...: or, let us hold fast - Hebrews 12:28

    There is one characteristic (among many) of a people who profess to know Christ with their mouth, but whose heart is far from Him, that excels all others. That is the absence of reverence for Him—There is no fear (reverence) of God before their eyes (Rom 3:18). This irreverence of God manifests itself in many ways. However, the absence of a desire to worship God in the Gospel of Christ stands head and shoulders above the rest. Those people whose heart is far from him treat the things of God with a casual, indifferent attitude.

    The preaching, the hearing, and the consistent attendance, having a desire for heart worship in the Gospel with the people of God, does not register on their scale of priorities. Instead of trying to arrange their lives and schedules in a way as to not interfere with the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching, they try to fit the public worship of God where there is a space in their schedule, when it is convenient for them, and they have nothing better to do. I know by experience this irreverent attitude is not a labor or a difficult exertion of the flesh. It is a willing, premeditated determination of the careless heart that comes as natural as breathing. Even when in attendance, they are separated to themselves in heart and thought.

    The child of grace has a God-given desire to worship him with reverence as often as he can, and weeps in his heart when providentially he cannot. Even then he feels he comes far short. He prays for the gift of grace in his heart that will effectually deny the flesh, and to be enabled to consider Him, who loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood, with reverence and heart worship.
