Our God is Awesome

Do you ever just get hit anew with the realization that our God is awesome? He is alive, and He dwells among us and within us through the indwelling of His Spirit!  He is the One that created the heavens and the earth, the universe and all that is in it – galaxies, stars and planets! – He is the One that created you and me.

Scientists theorize that outer space can go on forever – at least farther than we can ever know. Wonders have been discovered billions of light years away, but only through a telescope. Despite the aspirations of the people of this planet, we can never know all the mysteries of the universe.

However, there is one mystery we do know about – the greatest mystery of all: that the Creator of this world and all that is outside of it, became man in order to redeem our souls so that we can have everlasting life. It was the ultimate sacrifice, an act of extreme love and mercy.

You see, with all the stars, planets and whatever else out there, God chose to create people who will choose to love and worship Him. Despite the seemingly insignificant place of planet Earth in the universe, we are the ones God chose to bestow His grace upon. We are not insignificant. To think so would be to say that God’s plan is flawed.

We need to stop belittling our positions and purposes in this life. A God that could order the universe in such a way as to reveal Himself will not create people that are useless to His plan. We are all here for a reason, and are a part of His grand design. Things we deem insignificant in fact have a greater impact than we could ever dream.

Let us choose this day to trust Him in all things. He created a planet perfect to be lived on – why now would He abandon us? In the words of Jesus, if the Lord can take care of the little sparrows, He can definitely take care of you!

His love is truly astounding. 

I was looking at some old writings of mine and came across this. Inspired me, so I'm posting it. :)
