What happens in me when I recognize the awesomeness of God? Why do I need to see it?

Exodus 15:11Who is like you among the gods, O Lord—glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?

Psalm 90:11Who can comprehend the power of your anger? Your wrath is as awesome as the fear you deserve.

Luke 5:26Everyone was gripped with great wonder and awe, and they praised God, exclaiming, “We have seen amazing things today!”

Fear of God is different from a fear of other powerful things. You hide from the power of a severe storm or run from the power of a large wave crashing on the shore. But the awesomeness of God’s power is captivating. The more you see God’s awesomeness at work in your life and the world around you, the more you will desire to be near him and experience his empowering Spirit. Recognizing God’s awesomeness puts you in the middle of his glory and helps you experience both God’s presence and his unconditional love.
