The Awesomeness Of Our God
When I contemplate the awesomeness of our God, I am left in amazement at His powers and love for humanity. To realize that He knows you and I personally is humbling. King David explains that while we were still in our Mothers womb God knew us: “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”- Psalm 139:13-14.
To contemplate such truths can only bring words of praise to our hearts:
Lord I am in total amazement when I realize that you knew me before I took my first breath. Yes Lord, you had already seen the future joys and sorrows of my life, knew my life's path because you were already in my tomorrows.
Before I came to know you my Lord, you already knew my strengths and weakness saw my mistakes and struggles. Although there were times of rebellion when I thought that I knew best - resulting in heartbreak - you my Lord also both knew, and saw all that I potentially could be.
Finally the day dawned when my life changed, your Spirit had spoken to my heart. This time I did not turn away, but instead listened, which led to conviction. My convicted heart led to my repentance, and thereby redemption. Throughout my life, you my Gracious Lord saw all of my struggles and sin, now I lay them down because, I have learned the joy of surrender.
The Spirit promised a new start as I experience a new spiritual birth. No longer are you up there out of sight, Jesus is now in my life and I am Born Again. This new life is one of forgiveness, and hope of a better future as your child, how I worship and adore You. What peace there is in forgiveness. Amen.
Today, let us give thanks to our awesome God.
