AWE-FULL

                                                 AWE-FULL

Great and holy God

awe and reverence

fear and trembling

do not come easily to us

for we are not Old Testament Jews

or Moses

or mystics

or sensitive enough.

Forgive us

for slouching into Your presence with little expectation

and less awe than we would eagerly give a visiting dignitary.

We need

neither Jehovah nor a buddy-

neither “the Great and Powerful Oz” nor “the man upstairs.”

Help us

to want what we need…

You

God

and may the altar of our hearts

tremble with delight

at

Your visitation

amen.

Excellent. I often fear that the modern church has lost the true understanding of a sovereign God. Been spending a lot of time in Isaiah and Job lately, which really brings the awe-full nature of God home in a powerful way.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the LORD, do all these things.’
