Job 38:34-38
English Standard Version (ESV)
We sometimes forget to be in awe of God. We tend to shrink God down so that we can understand God -- we take our human emotions and experience and assume that God goes through the same thing, only perfectly. We have to do this in a way, just because we need some way to understand God. This is part of why God came to us in the person of Jesus Christ -- so we could better understand God's love.
But sometimes, we need to lose ourselves in awe of God. We need to remember that God's voice can cause the rains to pour down, that his commands send lightning, that he can number the stars and count the hair on our heads. God is so much greater than we, and it makes it all the more amazing that he loves us so. God loves you and will never let you go, but he is also almighty and perfect and powerful and hung the sun and moon in the sky.
Be in awe of God. Be grateful for his love, and wonder at his mercy.
