Praise Focus-Awesome God

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Praise Focus is found in Psalm 147, verses 1 and 2.

“Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. For the LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.”

This Psalm tells us that God is greatly exalted. He reigns over the nations; God is seated on his holy throne.

According to Colossians 1:6, the Gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world. This good news tells a love story of a God who has come to redeem people with sacrificial love. That was what the cross of Jesus was all about. Today, we can live with joy in the Lord’s love and with hope in God’s power to save us for eternal life in His holy presence. This Gospel is an open invitation for the people all over the world to come to Jesus and celebrate Him around the throne in heaven.

The awesomeness of God is a reason to praise Him in the Year of Focus.
