Great and awe-inspiring are your works, Lord God Almighty. ~ Revelation 15:3a (CEB)
Lord God Almighty, I am joining with the sun, moon, stars, biblical writers, and the entire choir of creation in praising you! You've created a stunningly awesome world that is way beyond mere randomness. You are behind it all. You are deserving of the recognition that we are so negligent in giving. I admit it, I can be pretty shallow and self-absorbed at times. I don't even think about honoring you. But then I step outside and feel the life-awakening warmth of the early morning sun... or at night I see the moonlight reflected on the ocean waves... And then there is that great array of stars spelling out your story... At that point I can't help but join in. Praise you, God! Amen. Amen. Amen.
Challenging Words
- awe-inspiring -- something that causes an overwhelming sense of wonder to swell-up inside of you
- stunningly-- something that is so wonderful that it makes you stop and stare. You are stunned so that you can't do anything else
- randomness -- the circumstances through which things happen by chance. There is no design or designer.
- negligent -- When you fail to do your assigned work or if you do not carry out your responsibility you are negligent.
