Filled with awe... Awesome!

Acts 2: 43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. (Acts 2:43)

God was at work in this group of believers. They had been saved by his grace and were now devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and to prayer. And their hearts were filled with awe.

Being filled with awe means that we have transcended our earthly view and have caught a glimpse of the eternal glory of the living God. It means that we have caught a vision of God’s greatness, holiness, power, and love. When we see the Lord high and lifted up, we fall at his feet in humble repentance and surrender.

This is the kind of atmosphere where God works in power. We hear of many miraculous signs and wonders going on where God’s people are sharing Jesus and many people are coming to Him. You are blessed when God fills you with the holy awe that comes from seeing him in his glory, and he reveals his miraculous power as you share Jesus with others!
