Ep. 72: Only God Could Do That

We're wrapping up something special on the podcast—our "Summer with the Holy Spirit" series—and in this final episode, we explore the last gift from Isaiah 11:2: ✨ Fear of the Lord (also known as awe). That phrase might sound a little intense at first—like something we're supposed to be afraid of—but what we discover is that this gift is actually about reverence, wonder, and a deep awareness of God's majesty and love. It's about being moved to humility and trust when we recognize that God is working in ways far bigger and more beautiful than we can imagine. Here's what we're reflecting on this week: 🔍 Fear of the Lord = Awe + Gratitude Instead of rushing through a quick "gratitude list," we're slowing down and asking deeper questions like: "Where is God working in my life right now?" "What has He done that I might have missed before?" "How is He showing up in my ordinary?" 💫 When we start to notice these moments, gratitude becomes a doorway to awe—and awe leads us into deeper faith. 🧠 Gratitude, Temperament-Style Whether we tend to be: 🔥 goal-driven (choleric) 💧 deep-feeling (melancholic) 🌬️ steady and peace-seeking (phlegmatic) 🌟 joy-filled and people-loving (sanguine) …we reflect on questions that help us see God's fingerprints in ways that speak directly to how we're wired.

The Holy Spirit is the hand. These gifts we've explored all summer? They aren't just nice ideas—they're what allow us to be filled, moved, and transformed. 🌿 This Week's Gentle Invitation: Let's pause. Reflect. Ask God to open our eyes to His awe-inspiring work—especially in the ordinary. Let's allow gratitude to lead us into wonder, and let that wonder renew our joy and trust. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. If there's something you're longing to hear more about—intuitive eating, faith-led wellness, motherhood, or how the Holy Spirit moves through it all—we'd love to know. 💌 Just send me a message at [email protected]!
