STAND IN AWEPsalm 33:6-9 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made and all their host by the breath of his mouth. He gathered the waters of the sea as in a bottle; he put the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him, for he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.I often feel left out or lonelyI can't do anything right My life is not useful I do not enjoy my life What young people need today is not to stand in awe of something but to stand in awe of SOMEONE. AWE: a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder.“Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him”Hebrews 12:28-29 Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, and offer to God pleasing service and acceptable worship with reverence and awe; for our God is [indeed] a consuming fire.Bonfire PicBeing afraid of God and fearing God are two different things.When I genuinely fear the Lord I fear hurting him.

And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab…. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, and the finely worked garments, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”Art gives us glimpses of the renewed world, It helps us to taste and see that the Lord is good.3 We promote awe of God by seeing him in JESUS2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.He must increase, but I must decrease. Awe Challenge: _Turn off notifications on your phone._Create a plan for your screen time._Go on awe walks. _Read a Psalm.
