Genesis 15:1
[ The LORD’s Covenant With Abram ] After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward. ”
Nehemiah 1:5
Then I said: “LORD, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments,
Lamentations 3:22
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
John 15:13
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
Ephesians 2:4-5
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
All of the platitudes that come to mind are obvious, but they are worth repeating. God is awesome. Everything about Him is awesome. His great design of creation is awesome. The fact that He simply spoke all that is into existence is awesome. His love for us is awesome. His plan for us is awesome. His provision for us is awesome. His son Jesus is awesome. The fact that he shed his heavenly glory to humble himself among us is awesome. When He opened blind eyes and opened deaf ears it was awesome. When He walked on water and raised the dead… awesome. When he went to the cross and gave His life for ours, it was awesome. When he overcame death and the grave and rose in victory it was awesome. When He ascended into Glory… awesome. Then He sent us the Gift, the Holy Spirit… awesome. This Church that He’s the head of… awesome. And the Glory that awaits us in Eternity… awesome. I don’t know about you, but when reached down and touched my heart, when he opened my eyes, when he pulled me from the very jaws of death and gave me eternal life… awesome. Thank the Lord (all three of Him :) ) for the richness of His love and mercy which He has shown us through us through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Have a Blessed week!
