Our Awesome God

 

	“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night…”
	—Nehemiah 1:5-6

As we take time this day to begin another day by worshipping the God who loves us with an everlasting love, let us remember these words from Nehemiah 9:29-33:

“You warned them in order to turn them back to your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, of which you said, ‘The person who obeys them will live by them.’

“Stubbornly they turned their backs on you, became stiff-necked and refused to listen. For many years you were patient with them. By your Spirit you warned them through your prophets. Yet they paid no attention, so you gave them into the hands of the neighboring peoples. But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.

“Now therefore, our God, the great God, mighty and awesome, who keeps his covenant of love… In all that has happened to us, you have remained righteous; you have acted faithfully, while we acted wickedly.”

Our God is awesome. His everlasting love reaches down to us. He cradles us in His mighty Hand. He opens up a new pathway for us each day. He cleanes us from our sins through the blood of His own dear Son, Jesus.

Let us begin this day with rejoicing. Our God reigns. He reigns in our hearts and minds. He reigns over all the earth. He reigns over all the universe. Our God is an awesome God!
