Ok, so its been a long while since my last post. Hopefully, that trend will stop and there will be more regular posts. Settled in at our new church in eastern WI. hard to believe I am living in packer country. Go VIKES! Lovin' the challenges and opportunities that are here. Life is busy but good. God is AWESOME!
Speaking of which...I just read through Matt Redman's book "Face Down" and he had a chapter on how we too easily throw out the word awesome in our day to day conversations. As I looked up the word in a dictionary the very first definition is "to inspire awe." We may say that the Grand Canyon is awesome, or that the sunrise over Lake Michigan but when was the last time we stood in awe of God? When was the last time we stood in silence because of His awesomeness? When last did we shout out or raise our hands upward because of God's supreme awesomeness? When was the last time God's unimaginable greatness inspired awe in our lives?
I know I am guilty of lessening the word awesome in my own conversations, "Wasn't that an awesome movie?" "How awesome was the Celtic's win over L.A.?" I'm not saying never use the word unless you're speaking of God. I am saying that we should not put God on the same level as an exciting basketball win, or delicious meal. Let's remember that God is above all things, He is the creator of all things. God is the one who sent His son Jesus to take our place on the cross so that through him we can have life everlasting with Him in heaven. Now that is awesome!
Peace
