I Stand in Awe of God

Psalms 33:6-9 ESV

“By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; He puts the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him! For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.”

The next time we look outside and admire the flowers, or see a beautiful sunrise or a gorgeous sunset, or see a mesmerizing waterfall thank God. The next time that we stand by the ocean and see how grand it is or stand next to a babbling brook and sense the peace of that brook, thank God.

God created the earth and all its beauty for Himself and us to enjoy. There is a lot of ugliness in the world today but that is because of what man has done and the curse that man has brought on this earth. Still, even in the middle of many concrete cities we see the dogwoods blooming, or the Redbud trees beautiful purple flowers, or the vibrant colors of the azaleas. I stand in awe of all that God has created.

Prayer:

Lord, we stand in awe of Your greatness and majesty. We thank You for the beauty of the earth and especially all of the amazing natural elements of the earth. Beyond all the deviation that is going on throughout the earth, Your love is felt by the beauty that we see. We stand in awe of You! Thank You Lord Jesus, Amen!
