View point

How do you view the Holy Trinity? Is one figure bigger, wiser, stronger, more powerful, more important than an other? Really though, picture them now. I read of an anology where we western christians view the Holy Trinity as God the Father sitting at the head of the table, then Christ as a smaller man, and then the holy spirit as a bird. Where as Eastern christians See three equal beings sitting around a table talking about us all.
How do you see it? This stretched me a bit to think about my views and understanding of God in general, as in his relation to us as three parts. Are they truly sitting about conversing and interceding for me? So difficult to comprehend. Are there really things that Jesus wants to see the holy spirit work in my life? I beleive so. I think, as crazy as it sounds, I desire to spend as much time as I can in Their courts of praise, so that I may see more clearly their desires and hearts cry.
You know, it says in scripture that we enter his courts with praise..not prayer..why would we rather try to begin with prayer and not praise? Why do we not place Him where he belongs, before we begin conversing? Or better yet, why is this a stretch for us? Is He not the alpha and omega, the begining and the end? Elohim (God), Jehovah-rapha(the Lord who heals),Jehovah-Nissi(The Lord our banner),Jehovah-Shalom( the Lord our Peace),Jehovah Sabaoth(the Lord of hosts),The resurrection, the truth, the life,the light of the world,the bread of life, the good shepherd, "Before Abraham was, I Am!" Hmm My thoughts for the day.
This has been a very tough morning full of tears and anxiety..But still my God is good, and has restored my peace in this moment of revelation, of who He is, was, and is to come!
