"great and awesome" -Nehemiah 4:14

“Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome…” Nehemiah 4:14

Isn’t this a powerful statement! You can almost feel the zeal and authority with which it is being stated. Now we all know from what we have heard and read in our Bibles that God is, as the text says “great and awesome”, but do you know that for yourself? When you personally think about God, do the words great and awesome come to mind? If they don’t, I assure it is not because God has ceased to be great and awesome.
Author Henry Blackaby says “Right now God is working all around you. One of the greatest tragedies among God’s people is that even though they long to experience Him they do not know how to recognize him at work in their midst”
If this has been the case for you, I encourage you to take some time well spent, to pray for God to reveal to you where he is working so that YOU may be able to say, with all sincerity of heart, “Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome”.
