Awesome!

1 Min Read
    “Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! (Psalm 66:5 from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation).
    Awesome! This overused word is interwoven into conversations to describe anything above average. It is attached to artistic performances, gourmet foods, clothing accessories, websites, widgets, gadgets, and travels. The King James Version translates awesome as “terrible.” Imagine this scene. We’re looking over the splendid (awesome) Grand Canyon. I smile and shout out “Terrible!” You wouldn’t understand my reaction. Others nearby might wonder at my absence of appreciation. If I said “Awesome!” you would understand how impressed I am with God’s creation. That’s the intention of this modern translation when the Psalmist recognizes the magnificent miracles. Awesome! That word belongs to God.
    Prayer : Lord, when I see Your creations and witness Your miracles, I am overwhelmed. All I can say is awesome! Amen.

Madame Day & Professor Night

1 Min Read

Psalm 19:1-2 was written by David perhaps as he sat watching his sheep on a Judean hillside gazing at the handiwork of God displayed in the heavens. It was a picture perfect evening. David loved his job and wouldn’t have preferred doing anything else. He leaned back in the lush green grass to take a look at the stars. He was amazed all over again at his God and all that he was learning on-the-job. The Message version of the Bible gives these verses a poetic quality, “God’s glory is on tour in the skies. God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning. Professor Night lectures each evening.”

Prayer: Looking into the infinite sky tonight, I am reminded of how great You are God! What a beautiful display of Your greatness. I stand in awe of Your handiwork. Amen.
