Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men. (Psalm 66:5 (NKJV))

Our God is amazing! Of course, there are an infinite number of ways that our God inspires us to be in awe. But here are seven reasons God is awesome. Meditate on one of them each day as you go through your week.

God made the heavens, the earth (and everything on it), and the seas (and all that is in them just by speaking (Genesis 1:1–27).

You alone are the Lord; You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserve them all. The host of heaven worships You. (Nehemiah 9:6 (NKJV))

God knows how many stars are in the sky and has named them.

He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. (Psalm 147:4 (NKJV))

God can measure the universe with His outstretched hand.

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, measured heaven with a span and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure? Weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance? (Isaiah 40:12 (NKJV))

God knows how many hairs are on your head.

Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10:29–31 (NKJV))

God knows all your thoughts and understands them.

You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. (Psalm 139:2–3 (NKJV))

God made the intricate human body out of the dirt.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. (Genesis 2:7 (NKJV))

God stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah 40:22 (NKJV))

So, those are seven reasons God is awesome. All of them are worthy of meditation because they are true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise (Philippians 4:8). So, think about them this week as you walk by faith with God.
