Awesome God

Why AWESOME is an Important Word

01/23/2024

A few years ago, the word “awesome” became a catchphrase for any and everything. “Can you go Monday night? Awesome!” “This meal is awesome!” “I read an awesome book!”

If you’re like many, we began to tire of hearing the overused word. However, rather than throw out the word, the Bible points us in the right direction for when to use it. For example in Genesis 28:17, the word “awesome” is used in relation to heaven, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”

Exodus 15:11 uses the word “awesome” in relation to God and His works, “Who is like You among the gods, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?”

Yes, we might want to scale down on our use of “awesome” in relation to everyday events, but let’s use it often in relation to God.

We praise You, AWESOME GOD, and thank You for Your AWESOME works.

Who is like You among the gods, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?

Yes, we might want to scale down on our use of “awesome” in relation to mundane earthly things, but let’s use it often in relation to God.

Praise to AWESOME GOD

“Say to God, ‘How AWESOME are Your works …All the earth will worship You, and will sing praises to You;…’”

Psalm 66:3-4

“Awesome!” It’s a word typically used for anything from completing a project to hearing about a new coffee. But, when the psalmist says in Psalm 66:5, “Come and see the works of God, Who is AWESOME in His deeds toward the sons of men,” the term means, “stupendous, illustrious.” Read Psalm 66:6. Continue with verse 16, “Come and hear, all who fear God and I will tell of what He has done for my soul.” I want to shout “hallelujah” in agreement! Our AWESOME GOD has done great things for our souls!!! And, then there is verse 20, “Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer nor His lovingkindness from me.” Now, THAT’s AWESOME! Don’t you agree?

I praise You, AWESOME GOD! You have done great things for my soul! You have not turned away my prayer nor Your lovingkindness. I praise YOU!
