stand in AWE

Psalms 33:6-8
"6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: He layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him."

We have returned to the book of Psalms, in the Old Testament, to read faithful and encouraging words about our Experience of God hundreds of years before the events recorded in the New Testament! Even back then the Psalmist said that GOD seeks and saves the sinners and rejects. Glimpses of the Gospel message! 

Yesterday's verses taught that GOD KNOWS stars and planetsfrom the beginning to the end! GOD'S knowledge has no boundaries! He is the creator of all things. It is His plan that is unfolding in our world today. It is all by His design. In due time we will witness GOD'S justice unfold. The wicked will be punished and the MEEK will be exalted. 

We continue following this thread in chapter thirty-three of the Psalms, beginning with verse six; "By the WORD of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the BREATH of His mouth." The vastness of the universe, He determined the number and placement of every star. From the BREATH of God all the stars are created. God made it ALL and we are just a speck of dust on one small planet floating in the vast universe. On our planet we are small compared to the mountains and the oceans with depths that remain unknown to us.

And, verse eight; "Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in AWE of HIM." As sublime and AWE inspiring as creation is; it is even more incomprehensible that God sent His only Son to save you and me. Jesus was there at the beginning, the Alpha, and "the Word" binds it all together. He supplies the rain, makes the grass grow. God has it ALL but He did not have the hearts and minds of you and me. So, the Son comes to do something so incredible that people struggle to believe it to this day. Even having seen the wonderful influence His teaching and actions have had on the world.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
