I Have been thinking alot about AWE these last couple of days.
"Awe precedes faith" - Abraham Herschel
Many or the things we do we do because we were inspired or AWWWWed by something. We buy things because they awe us. We watch fireworks because they are awe inspiring. The people we listen to for example, Tony Evans, inspire us to keep listening.
I mentioned in my last post about how I haven't been awwwed in a few years. I have to correct that. I took a good hard look at everything in my life from a new perspective. God's perspective.
My husband and children come home everyday. I have everything I need. God's sustaining power of healing in our lives is awe inspiring.
My Husband has awed me in his teaching of Understanding the times in the way he brought scripture to life again. He communicates very well in every situation. He takes the time to study every part of the topic he is teaching and makes sure everyone knows and understands what God word says. He brings that same discipline into our relationship. He communicates and listens and he wants that from me. I am in awe of how God has strengthened our relationship over the years through all the ups and downs. I am in awe over how God did this! We couldn't have done it without Him!! Nobody is perfect and we all get busy and preoccupied. Satan wants our lives to be that way. He will try to confuse and distract us wherever he can and try to keep us from spreading the peace Christ brings to us. I am not awe inspiring in this state of mind.
The more I stay in his word and become encouraged by it, the better wife and mother and ambassador for Christ I am; the more AWE inspiring I become for Christ.
