Why AWESOME is an Important Word, Awesome God, Genesis 28:17, Exodus 15:11 | Debbie Taylor Williams

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.
