The Awesome God – Week 42 / October 15th
“The Lord will be awesome to them, for He will Reduce to nothing all the gods of the earth;
People shall worship Him, each one from his Place, indeed all the shores of the nations.”
Zephaniah 2:11
Here tucked away in a little known book of the Bible, is a reference conveying some remarkable truths.
We note three of these:
1. God is Awesome. (Overwhelming in power, majesty, presence and essence)
This awesomeness of God is presently hidden, except to those who know Him, but a day is coming when He will be awesome to all the peoples of the earth. That is; He will unveil, by the coming of Jesus Christ, the true nature of who He is. Needless to say the world will be overwhelmed by this revelation. How wonderful it is to have come to this revelation by the presence of Jesus in our lives!
2. God is without a rival. (Having no equal)
Much of the process unfolding in the world today and particularly in the Middle East is orchestrated by the God of the Bible in order to reduce the gods of this world to nothing. It may appear to be a confused picture but a sovereign God is handing the nations over to their bankrupt decisions so that ultimately His reality will be the only one. All the false gods of this world will be vanquished just as Dagon; the god of the Philistines who was humbled before the Ark of the living God!
3. God is worthy of adoration. (Having such glory that automatically induces worship)
The God of the Bible made the heavens the earth and the nations. He will not bring in a new heavens and a new earth until He is vindicated and all the nations and all the peoples of the earth acknowledge His existence and sovereignty. This wonderful “day” is coming soon! In fact we are most happy when we worship God with our lips, lives and resources. God made us like this! However, a day is coming when every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. It is best to come now and do this in love, because if we do not, we shall surely do it in judgment!
May the awesome God of heaven bless you richly!
