How great thou art

"For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities-His eternal power, and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made..."(NIV) Romans 1:20

The lyrics of two separate hymns come to mind when I think of the awesomeness of our God. The first hymn is “How great thou art” by Carl Boberg and the second is “The flowers, the sunset, the trees” by Jim Reeves.

Allow me to share with you some of the lyrics of the first hymn. “Oh Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made, I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.”

I would love to share some of the lyrics of the second hymn as well. “Each time I touch a rose petal and breathe the sweet fragrance it brings, I know there’s a God up in heaven, no human can create these things.”

These two hymns present God to us in a unique way. They appreciate God’s awesomeness in the things we tend to overlook.

Today, I would like you to spend a little time thinking about the little things you take for granted. For example, you woke up breathing. Your fingers display their amazing motor skills that help you carry stuff and even use your phone. The sun is shining to give you warmth or it is raining to give you a cool breeze. Just think about God's awesome handiwork around you and glorify His name. God bless you.

Reflection

Our busy lives make us take many blessings for granted. The author's exercise is a good way to see and acknowledge the awesomeness of God in our lives. Please take some time to reflect on the handiworks of God in your life.
