As you would like people to do to you, do exactly so to them. Luke 6:31 WEB.We had to park way out in the parking lot that day, and it was hot when we came out of the grocery store. There were no cart returns nearby, and I didn't really feel like taking the buggy all the way back to the building. I ... -
You Get What You Need from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. Sometimes disappointment comes from unrealistic expectations, like a fish that wants to fly. Fish simply aren't built for graceful air travel, but they can swim like no one else. Likewise, the Lord has given each of us a gift set and...

Passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you into fishers for men." Immediately they left their nets, and followed him. Mark 1:16-18 WEB.When I was youn...

You shall not be scared of them; for Yahweh your God is in the midst of you, a great and awesome God. Deuteronomy 7:21 WEB.
Moses called the Israelites together right before they entered the promised land, and he told them not to be afraid, for the Lord who is in the midst of you is a great and "Awesome" God.
The definition of Awesome: adjective - breathtaking, awe-inspiring, magnificent, wonderful, amazing, stunning, staggering, imposing, stirring, impressive; formidable, fearsome, dreaded; mind-boggling, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, excellent, marvelous; wondrous. Awesome is the opposite of unimpressive.
I love the word Awesome; it seems to be one of the few words that I know that can even come close to describing our Heavenly Father, and I try to reserve it just for that purpose. Can you use the same words to describe a movie actor or a car that you would describe the One who created heaven and Earth? If you measure everything as a ten out of ten, you are left with a broken, meaningless scale.
Moses was right, for God had proven Himself Awesome time after time in their lives. He had sent miraculous plagues on Egypt until they decided that it would be better for everyone if they released His people from slavery (Exodus 13:15). In the desert, He went before them as a cloud by day to give them shade and a pillar of fire at night to give them warmth (Exodus 13:21). He parted the sea so that they could cross safely (Exodus 14:21). He fed them mana from heaven for forty years, and their clothing did not wear out (Nehemiah 9:21).
God is Awesome, so do not fear what may come. Instead, remember that our Father is the breathtaking, mind-boggling, mind-blowing, jaw-dropping, Awesome God that created the universe, and He is well able to take care of you.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Awesome God of heaven and earth, I thank You for being there for me. Please walk with me this day, help me make the right decisions, guide me into all You have for me here. I put my trust in You today. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
Note: For those following the Creation Photography weekly challenges, here is this week's theme from group leader, Dianna Wyles: Psalm 50:10-11 "for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills. I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine." ~ I'm actually inviting you (if you are able) to take a listening/looking walk. What do you hear/see? It's early morning here, the sun has not yet risen so when I step outside and take a listening/looking walk I don't see much but I hear crickets and my granddaughter's cat meowing at my ankles. What do you hear/see on your walk? 'All God's Creatures' will be our next fun-inspired theme and as always, is wide open for creative interpretation. You are also encouraged to post anything else that inspires you as well. All of God's creatures coming out to enjoy the sunshine and I do hope you all get to enjoy some sun and fun, too! Have an amazing week everyone! Stay ever blessed knowing we are ALL part of God's fantastic creatures and creations. What a wonderful blessing indeed, knowing we all belong to God!

I have alwasys been uncomfortable with the word Awsome when it has been used for anything other than as a description of God and Jesus Christ. In fact, when I was teaching, I would generally make a pointed comment when the word was used in an written assignment describing an experience in a resteraunt or when used in a presentation in my communications classes.
This is a word that should be reserved for the Almighty and His Son and the Spririt.
Thank you for helping me be the "Grammer Police"
