Awed by Our Awesome God

I'm doing two new Bible studies right now:  

"Nehemiah: a heart that can break" by Kelly Minter 

and 

"James: Mercy Triumphs" by Beth Moore. 

Both are very very good. I've been a little surprised at how well they complement each other since they are very different books of the Bible.

I was doing my work in "Nehemiah" and came to the following comment: 

"In the margin describe 

the last time you were awestruck by God."

I couldn't help but wonder about that and it hasn't left me yet.  There's only been one time I would consider myself "awestruck" by God.  How sad is that? 
Shouldn't we be amazed each and every day when we wake up,
breathing, moving, living? 
This God who cares for us so much He gives us a covenant of unfailing love ...

How marvelously wonderful is this God who loves us!  

May we never lose the wonder of our God, 

the ability to be struck with jaw-dropping, falling-to-our-knees, gasping-for-breath awe at our  

GREAT and AWESOME GOD!!
