Preparation for a date with God on Mount Sinai in Exodus 19 and 20

Such a wonderful date… I think of the preparation that I go through when there is a girl I want to impress. I take extra care to make sure my hair is clean and shiny, my breath is fresh, and I smell sweet. This is all in preparation for most likely a few hours where I may be around the girl. Now look at Genesis 19:10 where God tells the Israelites to consecrate themselves for 2 days prior to His coming to mount Sinai. How feeble my efforts to impress the opposite sex appear in light of God. Do I look upon my relationship with God through the same desire that I have for a finding a wife? I easily overlook the simple fact that God is the most important friend and relationship I have. Through this last surgery and my current immobility I find that my peace comes from God and I am so thankful for that. I am also thankful that I do not have to consecrate myself before I come to God in prayer. Christ paid all penalties past, present, and future for my sins and I can stand secure in my place with God. It is a simple thought but how much do you value your relationship with God? Do your actions reflect what you think that value is?
