AWESOMENESS OF GOD


Awesomeness of God will surpass all understanding. Knowing God face to face. How will our attitude change when we come face to face with God?

The word "awesome" is used often. But, I cant' think of a higher thought, attitude, or feeling that expresses the thought of coming face to face with our creator. Our concerns would change in a moment. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, His ideas higher than ours. Isaiah 55:9, says: "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than you ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

We are supposed to be preparing ourselves in this life for the next life. It is said that the next life is a continuation of this one. Having a relationship with God will lead us to preparing ourselves for that meeting that will surely cause us to be in awe of our heavenly Father. Only knowing Jesus can prepare us for this encounter. It will bring that peace and awesomeness that passes all understanding.

Too often we become so familiar with Jesus we forget he represents God in human form. As John the Baptist said in John 1:26, "I baptize with water but, there is one who comes after me whose thongs I am unworthy to tie." (NIV) If John knew him intimately and stood in awe of him how much more we need to learn of him and be in awe of him.
