Awesome God

Walking on the beach, breathing in the ocean air, watching the sea gulls hunting for food along the shore, reveling in the expanse of the ocean and the wonder of God's creation. It is amazing how small we are when we stand on the beach and look out over the ocean, watching the massive waves roll in and break against the shoreline. Imagine the power in the water as it gathers speed and rolls toward the beach.

God's power is amazing. He has set everything in motion and everything is in His control.

"Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours." (1 Chronicles 28:11)

We truly have an awesome God. When you look at the amazing creatures that roam the earth, swim in the oceans and fly through the air, it's easy to see the vastness of God's power. Do you ever stop to think about the fact that all of God's creatures function without batteries? There is no power cord that has to be plugged in to keep the motor running or the batteries charged. Instead, God breathed into each of us the breath of life. He keeps us charged and our motors running. Amazing! Awesome!
