I Stand In Awe...

awe

  

noun:

an overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration,

      I stood in awe this morning as I looked out my bedroom window. The frost sparkled radiantly in the bright morning sun, the trees dripped little dribbles of water, the puddles were gradually melting, and the birds were chirping a morning song. It was beautiful.  God created beautiful things. 

      This morning was one of those mornings where I took a step back and stood in awe of what God had created. I feel like it is easy for us to get caught up in the flow of life. Sometimes it feels like life is a whirlpool. We feel like life is just spinning in circles, sometimes in life we don't know where to turn, and we feel like life is twisting out of control. We often get worried or distressed out over the little things in life. We often get so caught up in this whirlpool called life, I think we often forget to stand in awe of the one who created everything. 

      When you feel like life is a whirlpool and your world is falling apart, turn to Jesus. Sometimes all we need is to slow down and turn our eyes to Jesus. Stand in admiration, stand in awe of God. God is the only one who can supply you with peace and comfort we need.

      Today...I challenge you to stop and look around. Take a minute to thank God for everything he has given you. 

And I stand, I stand in awe of you

   I stand, I stand in awe of you

  Holy God to whom all praise is due

I stand in awe of you. 

           

            I hope you all have a blessed day. :)
