Exodus 15:11
Why AWESOME is an Important Word
A few years ago, the word “awesome” became a catchphrase for any and everything. “Can you go Monday night? Awesome!” “This meal is awesome!” If you’re like many of us, we began to tire of hearing the word. However, rather than throw out the word, “awesome,” the Bible points us in the right direction for when to use it. In Genesis 28:17, 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 it 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 mundane earthly things, but let’s use it often in relation to God.
We praise You, great and AWESOME GOD and thank You for Your AWESOME works.
Are You in Need of Wonder Working Power
Do you wish you could twitch your nose or snap your fingers and presto, what you long for would appear? The fact is, those techniques may work in movies, but not real life. However, God does work wonders. Sometimes those wonders take time. Other times, moments. Regardless of the timing, our Heavenly Father is the One on whom we are to set our hearts if we’re in need of wonder working power. Moses is but one of many who needed a miracle and God stepped in. Listen to his words of praise in Exodus 15:11. “Who is like You among the gods, O Lord? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, Awesome in praises, working wonders?” If we’re in need of wonder working power, we can ask God for help, be still in His presence, and listen to His guidance. We can do as He tells us and experience His wonder working help.
Lord God, You are the WORKER of WONDERS! We look to You, pray to You, and praise You!
Prayers of My Heart is where you can record what God places on your heart. Then, when He answers, you can date the answer and write your words of praise to Him as Moses did.
Praise to Our MAJESTIC Lord
“Who is like You among the gods, O Lord?
Who is like You, MAJESTIC in holiness,
Awesome in praises, working wonders?”
Moses sang praises to God after witnessing Him miraculously dry up the Red Sea. “Your right hand, O LORD, is MAJESTIC in power, Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy,” Ex 15:6. Can you imagine if Moses had stood at the cross and watched Christ die. Then, if Moses had seen Jesus eating fish three days later. What praises would have flowed from his mouth? God defeated an enemy far greater than the Egyptians. He defeated Satan. He defeated the sting of sin: death. MAJESTIC in power. MAJESTIC in holiness. That is our God!
If you have Prayers of My Heart, turn to the Meditations, Notes, and Prayers section and let your words of praise flow onto the pages. We’re blessed reading Moses words of praise. You’ll be blessed weeks and months from now when you re-read the words of praise that flow from your heart. What is something for which you thank God? Write your love words to Him.
