In Awe of Him

On January 1, 2025 my heart was over-joyed to have crossed over into a new year. While on the way home I was thinking and reflecting on the Lord's goodness and I thought to myself that I never want to lose awe of Him. It becomes so easy for us to get used to or become comfortable with everyday blessings that we only look for the big miracles and the extravagant blessings to give God thanks for and to testify of, but what about what we call the miniscule? While in worship that morning I was saying to the Lord that I don't want to lose my awe of You and I really sat and started thanking God for just making it to and from the supermarket, making it out the house without sustaining any form of injuries, for being able to go to the bathroom on my own etc. I went through an entire year (2024) without contracting a single illness, not even the flu and for that I have to stay in awe of Him! I'm not in a hospital bed nor begging on the street and yes, I've had bad days or bad weeks but there's just always a reason to stand in awe of the King of glory. The fact that I am on His mind is enough to bring me to tears because really, who am I that He is mindful of me? I am but a lump of clay in the Master's hands, I am but dust, I am a mere shell of a man yet He calls me His own and chases after me when I'm in my mess, He still gives grace even when I don't deserve it, He is still kind to me even when I'm not kind to others. I have no choice but to stand in awe of my God- who calls me friend. In 2025 and beyond may we not lose our awe for the Lord because He is amazing, He is worthy, and He is AWEsome!
