Are you in awe of god?

From the highest of heights
to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty

From the colors of fall
to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky
and You know them by name
You are amazing God

All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees
as we humbly proclaim You are amazing God
You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God

lately (last two or three days) i have been less in awe with god
i realized last night that i was slowly drifting back into routine, even though i spent the beginning of last week well, and got to serve in a home for veterans and then was able to be part of an amazing youth service Wednesday, which was followed by an even more amazing talk with the youth pastor, some how the last part of the week drug on and i started to become complacent.

i guess the "attacks" are most likely to come after you have found that good place in your "walk". i guess i should have been prepared but i let down my guard. now mind you i did absolutely nothing wrong but i also didn't do all that much good. I realized last night that i was slipping and i cried out to god and told him i was sorry. instantly i have felt a burden lifted. A burden i didn't even know i was carrying. its like in the office when Jim puts one penny in the end of Dwight's phone each day so it slowly gets heavier and heavier and then suddenly one day he takes all the pennies out and Dwight expecting to pick up a heavier phone smacks him self in the face with the lightweight phone. i didn't even realize it was happening because it wasn't like i was doing something bad, something our conscience picks up for us, its not something we usually feel guilty about. But then when released everything seems so much better.

i included this song because its one of the songs we sung in chapel today. i love the song all the time and am not trying to say it meant more to me today then any other day, but something about it was especially good today because i once again found my awe for god. Sometimes life starts closing in and it is so easy to start worrying about grades and tests and to worry about other peoples problems and not realize that even those good things can take our focus off him. So i have decided instead of being apathetic i am going to grab hold of this awe for god, i am going to make this revolution truly take hold of my life, and i thank god for things like devos and community that challenge me and keep my eyes focused on god, and i guess that's what I'm trying to encourage you to do. he is truly indescribable, incomparable, he is such an amazing god, and he deserves our passionate hearts. also i find tremendous grace in the fact that he "sees the depths of our souls and loves us the same" i know he will be with me no matter how i act but i now am more alert to this apathy and refuse to allow it to have a foot hold.
