Hi Brian!

The word for this week is "awesome". The Scripture we are using is found in Exodus 15:11.

Who is like You, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders?  AMP

The KJV says this: 

11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? KJV

This is the Hebrew word "yare'". Strong's Concordance says: to fear, to revere. Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew Lexicon adds: to stand in awe, to show reverence, to honor,to  respect. Vine's Expository Dictionary says:  This is not simple fear, but reverence, whereby an individual recognizes the power and position of the individual revered and renders him proper respect. Phil Wickham has released a song that takes an older song called "Awesome God" and added lyrics to it that make it even more powerful and relatable for us! Here is that song:

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
