| Our God, is An Awesome God! |
| “AWESOME GOD” “The Obvious Outcome” “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His precepts have good understanding. To Him belongs eternal praise.” Psalm 111:10. NIV Read Psalm 111:5-10. The Psalmist develops this theme very specifically here: Our compassionate and gracious Lord has expressed Himself by helping His people – by providing a daily supply of food, by remembering His covenant and keeping His promises to make them victorious in conquest, by bequeathing to them the heathen lands around them, by revealing His power. And wonder of wonders, when they continued to grumble and complain against Him, He provided a way back to Him – a plan of redemption and forgiveness! My Lord is no less active in my, (and your), life today. He provides for my basic needs – food, shelter, and clothing – by allowing me to serve Him through meaningful and fulfilling work. He has blessed me with rich personal relationships with my family and intimate friends. To guide me in facing the hassles of daily living, He has sent His Holy Spirit, and I find myself clinging to Him every day. The conclusion of this Psalm reminds me of Proverbs 1:7: “The fear (awesome respect), of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.” It seems that following His precepts in obedience should be the obvious outcome of my gratitude for all He’s done for me! I pray that You will fill me with an Awesome respect for You, Lord, so that it will be the most natural thing in the world to obey your rules for right living! Because… “You, O God, are an Awesome God”---Jake Adapted from: the “Men’s Devotional Bible”. Written by Don Wyrtzen, who received an early start in music, radio and television under the care of his father, Jack Wyrtzen, founder of Word of Life International. Sometime in January, the Adult Class will begin a Study called “Outlive Your Life”— Live to Make a Difference, by Max Lucado. This will be “an inspiring call to action” by “Joining God’s Plan to Change the World”. I would urge you to pray about attending this Bible Study based on the First 12 Chapters in the Book of Acts. More to come!! . |
