Our God is an awesome God

 

October 21, 2022



How do we view God? I mean, what is our perception of Him who we have never seen face to face? We go to worship the Lord every Sunday, we say some prayers along the way, and we claim to be a Christian to those we think are just like us. But how do we view the Lord God Almighty, the one and only true God, the Creator of heaven and earth? I want the reader to understand that Jehovah God is awesome!!

In Genesis chapter 1, God creates the heavens and the earth, and the entire universe. Wow, we serve a God that is so awesome that there is none like him. He can bring things into existence with the words from His lips, the breath of His mouth.

It seems that as time goes on, and man and technology grow more advanced, than we as humans are forgetting just how awesome the Lord God is. We have accomplished so much in the past 100 years, and what’s happening is that we give ourselves all the credit. Mankind needs to take a step back and look at the entire universe along with every creature in it including himself and ask, “Could I create something so magnificent, so complex, and so beautiful just by speaking it into existence?” The answer is a resounding “NO.”

In the Old Testament, Job underwent the harshest of trials that none of us today would wish on our worst enemy. In Job’s dialog with God, the Lord had Job step back and consider just exactly who He is and all that He has created. In Job 38:1-4 it says, "Then the LORD spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you and you shall answer me. “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.”

Job had possibly forgotten just who God is and who he himself was. Just like Job, we need to be reminded of just who God is and how awesome He is! God laid the foundations of this world and the entire universe, and we need to step back every now and then to admire what the Lord has done and just how awesome He is!

Man is highly intelligent but he is no match for an awesome God. I Corinthians 1:25 says, “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.”

My note to the reader, “Stay humble my friend and remember just how awesome God is!”

We invite you to join us at College Hill Church of Christ, 1102 College Blvd., every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. for worship, or follow us on Facebook at College Hill Church of Christ Alva Oklahoma. We are a fellowship of believers that follow God’s Word and love all who worship with us!
