Awesome God
"Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from heaven above
with wisdom, power, and love;
our God is an awesome God.
Our God, what an awesome God."
These are some of the lyrics of a worship song I have been listening to recently.
And how true it is!
As we walk with God, we see how awesome He really is.
And it's not just us saying that; the Bible has so many events documented to show how awesome God is.
1. He parted the Red Sea. (Exodus 14:21-22)
"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left" (Exodus 14: 21-22)
2. God provided food, miraculously, for the Israelites in the desert. (Exodus 16: 14-15)
“When the dew was gone, thin flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, 'What is it?' For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, 'It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat.'"
3. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding- His first miracle. (John 2:7-9)
"Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”, so they filled them to the brim. Then He told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside ..."
4. Lord Jesus healed a blind man. (Mark 10:51-52)
“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
5. Lord Jesus rose from the dead. (Matthew 28:5-6)
The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; HE HAS RISEN, JUST AS HE SAID. Come and see the place where He lay."
These are just a few drops from an ocean, showing how awesome God is. God provided His people with a dry land in the middle of the ocean, with food and drink to their hearts' content, and with life and eternal life.
These stories aren't just limited to the Bible, to the times of old.
"And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you." (Romans 8:11)
Also, Hebrews 13:8 says, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
So, let's CHOOSE TO BELIEVE in these words today and in the fact that GOD IS STILL POWERFUL today, powerful and WILLING to do amazing miracles and works of wonder. Let's choose to make this choice and believe every single day. And let's continue to experience what an awesome God He is.
