God Is Awesome!

     I was reading Genesis (the first book of the Bible) the other day and ran across this verse. Genesis 28:17 And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." The word awesome stood out to me because I heard it use by teenagers many times and there it was in one of the oldest books of the Bible, the first one no doubt. I became curious as to where else it was located in the Bible. Here are a few of the verses I found with the word awesome. These were taken from the English Standard Version Bible.
   
     Deuteronomy 7:21 You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.
     Deuteronomy 10:17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe.
     Psalms 66:3 Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you.
     Psalms 89:7 a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him?
     Psalms 99:3 Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!
     Job 37:22 Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty.

     So God is awesome! according to the scriptures and I do agree. Here are some slang words describing awesome: very impressive, excellent, outstanding, wonderful, cool and neat. I think God is everyone of those and even more. The young people of the world can express their feelings about God using their modern today vocabulary and say God is awesome and they would be totally right. God is awesome to us and to those who lived a long time ago.
