AWESOME

I like the word "AWESOME"! Some say it is overused. Others have listed alternatives: "Whiz bang", "Holy guacamole", "Shut the front door", "Off the Chain", etc. And, while all of these words/expressions probably have their place and use, there is nothing that describes something like "AWESOME"!

Having an ice cream sandwich? Awesome. Having a Reese Cup? Awesome. Finding the one you want to spend the rest of your life with (and they at least consider the same)? Awesome. The birth of your child? Awesome. Watching your child succeed? Awesome. Salvation? Awesome. Helping lead your child to salvation? AWESOMEST!

Today's word is Psalm 47:2, NLT, which reads, "For the LORD Most High is AWESOME. He is the great King of all the earth."

The emphasis on "AWESOME" was mine but it is deserved and fitting. GOD is AWESOME. He could have chosen not to include me in His plan of salvation. But, He did! He could have chosen not to give me an abundant life. But, He did. He didn't have to give me a great family and health. But, He did. He didn't have to send His Son to die for my sins and make a way for me to live eternally in Heaven. But, He did!

There are certain things, certain moments, certain people that the word "AWESOME" just fits. You can try to use some hep, bodacious, breath-taking, mind blowing synonym but there is nothing that describes the best of the best like "AWESOME". And, nothing describes my LORD and SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST, like AWESOME!

Be Blessed,
