Today’s Word from God’s Word-Awe

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Word from God’s Word is Awe.

This is where reverence for God’s holiness and wonder for God’s love meet. We are aware that we are in the presence of someone greater than ourselves. We are humbled and amazed in the presence of God. When we stand in awe of God, our hearts are moved to praise.

An expression of awe is found in Exodus 15:11, just after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea safely on dry ground and delivered them from the hand of the Egyptians. “Who among the gods is like you, LORD? Who is like you-majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders?”

In Luke chapter 5, when Jesus performed miracles, “everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe, and said, ‘We have seen remarkable things today.”

Discover how the word “Awe” can have an impact on your life in the Year of God’s Word.
