From the song "God of Wonders"
Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
And as I stumble through the darkness
I will call Your name by night
God of wonders, beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy.
We use the word "awesome" to describe most anything we think is good. A great play in a ballgame is awesome. The newest flavor of ice cream is awesome. A good time at an amusement park is awesome or a song we really like is described as awesome.
The word awesome comes from the the word awe defined in the dictionary as:
A mixed emotion of reverence, respect, dread, and wonder inspired by authority, genius, great beauty, sublimity, or might.
For me the only thing in the universe capable of filling the definition of awesome is the God of Wonders, the Lord of Light and Salvation, the Trinity---Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To use the word awesome to describe anything else is to fall short of the limitless power of the Creator.
In this context some things are awesome like works of God through nature as seen in the beauty of a sunrise or sunset, the sweetness of child's smile, the awe-ful power of a tornado.
The God of Wonders displays His awesomeness all around for the world to see. There is no language that does not understand His awesome power. And this awesome God loves me...and you. Now that is truly awesome!
To God be the Glory! Amen.
