in Christian Life - Post Comment
Last night I went outside before going to bed. I wanted to spend some time in prayer and our deck outside seemed like just the place to go. As I stepped outside I was greeted with warm, humid air with just the right breeze blowing. It was perfect with the wind blowing away the mosquitos and keeping me cool. The air smelled of the country trees and the only sound was the sound of the wind blowing through trees in the distance.
I looked up to see the many stars. There was just a sliver of a moon and the many constellations above. It is so awe-inspiring to look out at the universe. I know God isn't necessarily "up there", but looking out there makes me feel his presence and feel awe at the world he created. What an incredible, big universe we live in. We could study and study and never understand even a portion of it! What an awesome God we have!
I spent some time in prayer. Prayer for my family, for my husband, for my kids, for myself. Prayers of repentance and prayers of gratitude. I closed with a song to the Lord. It just flowed out of my heart. This is the song I sang.
I Stand in Awe of You
You are beautiful beyond description,
to marvelous for words
To wonderful for comprehension,
like nothing ever seen or heard
Who can grasp your infinite wisdom?
Who can fathom the depth of your love?
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above.
And I stand, I stand in awe of You
I stand, I stand in awe of You
Holy God to whom all praise is due,
I stand in awe, of You.
May we take time to stand in awe of God and pour out our hearts to him.
It was pretty. Sometimes we just don't slow down to enjoy what we have... The day was terribly hot for us, but in the evening at dusk... the temperature cooled and the breeze was oh so nice... God is a wonderful creator!
Warmly, Melissa
