Psalm 29:1-4 Honor the Lord, you Heavenly beings; honor the Lord for His Glory and strength. Honor the Lord for the Glory of his name. Worship the Lord in the splendor of his Holiness. The voice of the Lord echoes above the sea. The God of Glory thunders. The Lord thunders over the Mighty sea. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is majestic.
I don't know about you, but when I read that it sends shivers through me and makes me want to sing out in Praise to my Powerful, Majestic, and Holy God. Sometimes I just sit in Awe of God, how could someone who made the world and everything on it and holds the planets in orbit and made these tiny little people with so much intricate detail inside of them, love and care about me?
My family and I went to the Omaha Zoo a couple weeks ago and I was amazed by all of the different species and colors of animals that I saw and I didn't even see a quarter of all the different animals that God created. As I sat in front of the Aquarium I was in awe, I didn't even know how to really process what I was seeing, it was too much.God made each one of those beautiful, and some not so beautiful (snakes) animals and after all that he decided to make me. He decided that he wanted me to be 5'5" with brown hair and brown eyes. He out me in my family and before I was even born he decided to bless me with two little brothers. He gave me my passions, he knew that I would be allergic to peanuts, he knew I who my friends would be, he knew my name before my parents knew I was a girl and he saw all of this and so much more before I was a thought in anyone's mind. God has caught every tear I've ever cried and He's helped me up every time I've fallen and couldn't get up on my own.
I will never understand why or how God loves me but I do know that I have never been so thankful for and blessed by someone's love as I have been by God's love. You know what else is amazing, God feels the same way about you even if you don't know him yet. God loves you. He loves you so much that he sent his one and Only Son, Jesus, to be hung on a cross and die for your soul so that you could spend eternity in Heaven with him someday. That's how much God loves you.
There are probably days where you feel like you have no one in this world and maybe you even think that if you were gone no one would miss you... Listen to me, that's not true. I know you feel alone but you aren't, God is there with you holding out his hand, asking you to take it. God thinks you are worth dying for, and in my book that's pretty amazing.
So friends, on those days when everything else feels lost I would like to encourage you to open your Bibles to Psalm 139 and read straight from God's word just how much he loves you!
God Bless you all! Have a great day!
