GOD IS AWESOME . . .

POETRY BY KATHY BOECHER

The word, “awesome,” is rather over-used today. When we wish to express amazement, surprisingly stunning, miraculous are words that display this kind of feeling or outcome in our lives. To say you did an awesome job, means that you gave it your all and then some. To say you look awesome, means you went the extra mile to impress. To say our children are awesome is not always true, but we say they are again to impress.


When it comes to God, the word awesome is not nearly enough of a word to describe Him. He created the world, the universe, everything. He can heal the broken hearted. His power is beyond magnificent. His love is never ending. His timing is meticulous. His plan is not flawed. His design is divine. His kindness. wisdom, power, strength, patience and understanding are not to be matched. God is perfect in every way.

John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” This message from the Gospel is the promise of new beginnings. Jesus, God’s own Son was that second chance – a new beginning. The start of a new way of life. God is also referred as the beginning and the end. or the alpha and omega. Isn’t that amazing? He has His finger on the pulse of everything. He is in control. He won’t ever leave us. He comforts us. He heals us. He restores us and He gives us the promise of heaven.

Next time you say the word, “awesome,” think about the One who created you. Think about the many blessings He’s placed in your life. Think about the challenges He has brought you through. Think of Him as the awesome Father He is. Thank Him for your life and for loving your unconditionally.

IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD

Life comes at us like a raging river at times,

Pushing, crashing, dispersing its power,

Seemingly overtaking us with its fury,

Yet even in those times of fear, loss, despair and anxiety,

God is there in the midst of it all,

His right hand directs life’s miseries and hopelessness,

And leads them to the final destination,

The peaceful waters,

The placid lake,

The amazing eternity He has arranged for us.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
