AWESOME GOD
Today's reading: Psalm 45-47

"For the Lord Most High is awesome..." Psalm 47:2 NLT

I don't use the word 'awesome' very often.

It seems to be overused.

It seems to become attached to things that are very nice or very interesting, but not necessarily spectacular or jaw-dropping.

I thought I'd look up it's definition...

awesome-adjective, causing feelings of expressive awe, inspiring awe, terrific, extraordinary.

awe-noun, an emotion variously combining dread, veneration, and wonder that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime.

If we use the word 'awesome' for anything other than God or God's characteristics, should it be used for anything else?  Does it diminish it's definition? Does it lower His value? Does it lessen the impact of the word itself?

The Lord Most High is awesome--and if He is, then nothing else could be.

No comparison.
