“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about Him. O LORD God of hosts, Who is a strong LORD like unto Thee? or to Thy faithfulness round about Thee?” (Psalm 89:7-8).

The more you get to know the Lord, the greater will be your appreciation of Who He is and how awesome He truly is. I think something else will take place that goes right along with this. I am convinced that the more we know about our awesome God, the greater will be our respect, reverence, and fear of Him. Show me a person who uses the Lord or His Word as a joke, show me someone who is flippant in the way he or she refers to the Lord, or show me someone who uses the Lord’s name in vain, and I will show you someone who really doesn’t fear the Lord in the correct way. To know Him is to both love and fear or respect Him. He truly is amazing and awesome in all His ways. How will these profound truths impact your life today?

For today: I think that the word “awesome” is an expression that ought to be reserved exclusively for the Lord Himself. What do you think?
