Everything about Creation
is Awesome
Because Our Creator Strikes Awful Awe into Our Hearts!
Psalm 19:9
The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever; the ordinances of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
Colossians 3:16
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; teach and admonish one another in all wisdom; and with gratitude in your hearts sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God.
Words of Grace For Today
The beginning of wisdom is the fear and love of the Lord.
The fear of the Lord … that’s a gift that God gives us, which keeps us mindful of how great God is and how miserable we sinners are.
The Fear of the Lord is one side of faith … the Love of the Lord is the complementary side of faith.
Our response to all God gives us is simple: awe …
and every day the Holy Spirit enables us to let the Word of Christ dwell richly in us.
That is not us dwelling in the Word, which is another misguided effort on our part to reach God.
It is surrendering everything we are, to let God use everything about us to do God’s will and work in this wonderfully awesome world.
That is cause to sing for joy to God.
Hallelujah!
