God, You Are....

COMMENTS

I usually start my “quiet-time” prayers by acknowledging God—who He is.  Some days the list of His attributes is quite long—powerful, just, righteous, holy, provider, protector, sustainer.  The list, like He, is infinite.  Today, I couldn’t get past the first word I said….

NOTES

Awesome.  God, you are awesome!  It’s like everything else You are falls under that description.  Awesome—beyond comprehension.  Awesome is defined as “inspiring awe or admiration or wonder”.  That should say “and”, not “or”.  You inspire awe AND admiration AND wonder in me.

I’m not highly intelligent.  Oh, I made very good grades in school—to the point of receiving honors at college graduation—but I’m smart at books, not at original thoughts.  Had I not married my deep-thinking husband, it never would have crossed my mind to wonder how I got here.  It was he who wondered how the universe came into being or if it was always here.  It was he who questioned if there was a Creator.  It was he, with his scientific mind, who reasoned that all of this couldn’t have just happened!  Of course, it was God who made him and his beautiful mind and inspired those thoughts and questions.  And it was God who gave him the answers, taking them beyond the mind and into his heart, revealing Himself as not just the Creator but as a very Personal God.

I find that AWESOME.  I, the “acceptor” of circumstances and worlds, would never have been able to experience this awe and wonder had I not seen the depth of God in my husband’s journey.  And when I see how awesome my God is, I realize how small I am.  My mind cannot even comprehend the greatness of God; how can I think myself so important?  I can do nothing of what He does.  I can’t keep the planets in place or the earth turning.  I can’t bring rain or snow or sun.  I can’t cause plants and flowers to grow.  I can’t create new life—a tadpole or a duckling or a fawn or a human baby.  I can’t orchestrate lives and bring good out of evil.  Only God, the Creator—my Creator—can do such wonders.

But my Creator reminds me that I’m important to Him—important enough that He died for me.  That’s the most awesome thing of all.
