An old movie from Disney is entitled "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". The movie charts the adventure of a group of explorers searching for the lost empire of Atlantis in search of treasure and artifacts. But when the team shows up, there is actually an entire civilization still thriving there. During one part of the movie, several group members along with Princess Kida are before the source of power of Atlantis, which is being guarded by stones representing past rulers. When Kida sees this, a tear falls down her cheek, she acknowledges that they are the kings of her past, and falls to her knees, pressing her face upon the floor of chamber whispering prayers.

There, in that moment, I cannot help but see myself having the same reaction to God. When I stand before Him in all of His glory, what will I do? MercyMe's "I Can Only Imagine" comes to mind. Will we stand in awe of God? Will we fall to our knees in humility? Will we burst into song? Will we even be able to say anything? Would words be enough?

Kida sees the kings of her past and falls to her knees in adoration. I want to be the same when I stand before the Lord. To fall at His feet and worship.
