Stand in Awe: A Daily Meditation

God’s awe-inspiring presence envelops us. At the heart of our existence and the beauty around us is God, the creator of all, who knows us intimately. Yet we let so much pass by without out notice. It’s time to stand in awe of all that the Lord has done for us. 

Psalm 33:8 urges us,  

“Let the whole world fear the LORD, and let everyone stand in awe of him.”  

Psalm 33:8

This verse speaks to the majesty of God and the reverence we owe Him—a reverence born from wonder and respect. He is worthy of it all. 

God’s creations, from the sprawling universe to the unique designs of snowflakes, showcase His power and artistry. Even more, amidst this grandeur, He cares for us deeply, inviting us to cast our cares onto Him, assuring us that His perfect love will bring strength and peace. 

The story of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-40 powerfully reminds us of God’s sovereignty over our lives. In moments of turmoil, we too can seek His peace, knowing He commands even the winds and the waves. 

God’s creation is an act of love meant for our enjoyment and His glory. Pause, ponder, and appreciate the beauty of the world He created for us. 


God, You are truly amazing and we stand in awe of You. Thank You for creating this beautiful world for us to live in. Help us to take the time to breathe in all the beauty that surrounds us and enjoy the daily sunsets and gifts that are a delight to our senses. Lord, may we feel ever closer to You as we stand in awe of Your power and majesty. Thank You for Your unending love and devotion. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 


As you navigate through life, remain aware of God’s awe-inspiring presence in everything around you, a constant reminder of His love, power, and desire for a relationship with you.
