Creation and Our Awesome God
Looking at the stars help us to remember how huge and powerful God is. One of the best ways to start your prayers is just to spend some time praising God for how awesome he is.
Awesome is a word that is overused these days. Getting a new game or a trip to the movies makes us say it is “awesome” but the word really means something that fills us with awe.
Have you ever looked at something that was sooooo cool you just didn’t have words to describe it. Maybe a mountain when you were camping, or a starry night when you were out in the country away from city light, or a waterfall, or your trip to the Grand Canyon or…well, you get the idea.
The kind of thing that makes your jaw drop and you just say, “awe………”
That is what awesome really means.
So when you start your prayers spend some time just thanking God for his awesome-ness and praising Him because He is awesome.
I like to look at pictures like this one to remind me that God created a great big universe. He is awesome.
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
Genesis 1:1-3 (NIV)
