Is Your Adrenaline Flowing?

Don’t you often wonder why it is that there are SOME things in life that really get our adrenaline flowing and REALLY cause us to look forward with excited anticipation to some event or happening that’s coming up?
I heard several people in the last week describing the excitement they felt as they were thinking about an upcoming football game – i.e., planning for tailgating time, planning what to wear, inviting friends, and just generally counting the minutes until they pack the car and are on their way.
Now, I’ve personally never been able to generate a lot of excitement when it comes to football or, to be honest, sports in general (to each their own, right?). But I DO remember my adolescent OBSESSION with the Rolling Stones. Oh my gosh, did I love them!! I saw them in concert far too many times to count.– I even brought my daughter to a Stones concert when SHE was a teenager – in fact, we went back again the next night so she could stand on her chair and scream along with them again.
Of course, there’s something in life that has the potential to be a lot more exciting than sports or rock bands, but we so often take it for granted and even say we are a little BORED by it. It’s our relationship with the living God – the One who gave us life and who walks with us daily and strengthens us, and promises to keep us safe for all eternity. What an amazing and awesome God!!
