What is truly awesome?

Recently, I had a conversation with my Brother "Nit" from MN, and He said something to me that I thought was quite insightful. He told me that he was trying not to use the word "awesome" too much. because there aren't that many things that truly inspire awe. for instance, you shot a birdie on the 18th... well that isn't really something to be in awe of. However, If you shot a whole-in-one with no ball, club, fairway, or green but did so with the power of your word, now that would be awesome.

That is what our Father has done. He created the entire universe from nothing but His word. He existed prior to anything. He created us with the ability to create, however, we do need the raw materials. God also uses raw materials. He used dust to assemble Adam, and from Adam He created Eve. He has created millions of saints from lost and condemned sinners. He creates good from all things. I find great comfort in the fact that I am "His worckmanship created in Christ Jesus..." Ephesians 2:10. Think about it, the God of the universe not only created you, but is continuing to work all things for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. He can create good from your badness, He can even make your mistakes work for His glory. He is not dependant upon us at all. It is very probable that your toughest challenge of sin will become your strongest ministry. I have heard it said that God is the ultimate recycler. He takes our garbage, and makes new creations. He took my life of rebellion and habitual sin and has turned me into a saint, a child of God, free from any and all condemning carges against me, a branch of the True Vine, and created for good works in Christ Jesus. Nit, I completely agree with you, that is AWESOME!
