The Awesome God

Bible Text: Psalm 47:2

The Awesomeness of God cannot be described. However there are things and situations that reveal a glimpse of this awesomeness.

Nature reveals this awesomeness. The heavens declare the glory of God;
    the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
    night after night they reveal knowledge (Psalm 19:1-2)

His awesome power sustains life on earth, the birds never lack food, the flowers of the field he clothes with beautiful colors. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (Matthew 6:28-29)

His Awesome power was seen in the life of the widow of Zarephath, through her obedience to the prophet Elijah her jar of flour and jug of oil never ran out. (1 Kings 17:7-16 ). In the life of Abraham his awesome power was revealed through the birth of Isaac to Abraham and Sarah in their old age  (Genesis 21:1-7) and the provision of a ram for sacrifice in the stead of Isaac. (Genesis 22:1-19)

His Awesome power was revealed for the Israelites with the Red Sea in front of them, and Pharaoh and his army behind them. They had no where to run to. God made a way for them, by dividing the Red Sea for them to crossover on dry ground but swept Pharaoh and his army into the Red Sea.(Exodus 14)

Ultimately his awesome power was revealed when he sent his only begotten son to die in our place, so that we may have life and have it abundantly. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Our God is an awesome God. None can compare to him. Besides him there is no one. To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto him? (Isaiah 40:18)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, I commit my life in your hands. You are the Awesome God, show me your Glory today!

And unto Him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we could ever ask or think, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.  

Amen!
