God is awesome! In every account in Scripture and in history where people encountered God, they were utterly overwhelmed by the experience. Nothing in their life prepared them for a face-to-face meeting with their creator. It mattered not if they were a pious prophet like Isaiah or am ambitious murderer like Saul, a meeting with God always had the same effect: humiliation, fear, and a profound sense of unworthiness.
God exceeds our wildest imagination. His power is unlike anything we have known. His holiness penetrates the deepest recesses of our soul. His love is beyond our comprehension. His wisdom surpasses our comprehension.
The truth is that God is great, regardless of what our current circumstances may be. God exceeds anything our feeble human minds can comprehend. Those who have been privileged to glimpse at who God truly is have been overwhelmed at the sight.
Incredibly, in the busyness of our lives and the pressure of our troubles, we can lose sight of God’s greatness. Because we feel overwhelmed by our problems, we can begin to act as if God is equally dumbfounded by our situation. Our lack of strength can lead us to assume that God’s power may also be inadequate for the challenges that we face.
Don’t be deceived. God is great! He has lost none of His power. He is perfectly capable of overcoming the greatest challenge in your life. You can trust Him.
