Creative-Sunday || Awesome God (cover) by @jessicaossom

Greetings Hive Learners! I'm excited to share that I'll be singing "Our God is an Awesome God" by Michael W. Smith for this week's creative Sunday. This contemporary worship song has been hugely popular in churches and youth groups since it was released in the early 1990s. With its catchy melody and powerful lyrics proclaiming God's awesomeness, it's easy to see why it has stood the test of time.





I first heard this song as a child growing up in church. We would frequently sing it during Sunday morning services, and it always filled me with joy and energy. As I've grown older, the song's message about God's greatness and sovereignty over all creation continues to resonate with me. When life feels out of control, I'm reminded that God is in control, and that brings me comfort and peace.

The driving rhythm and repetitive chorus make "Our God is an Awesome God" fun to sing, especially with a group. I love how it builds in intensity throughout the song, starting softly and steadily growing in volume and passion. By the end, I can't help but belt out those iconic words - "Our God is an awesome God!" It's a song that evokes raw emotion and gets people up on their feet clapping and celebrating.

Beyond this Sunday, I hope and pray that the lyrics and truth of "Our God is an Awesome God" will stick with all of us as we go about our weeks. During painful trials, may we remember that our God is awesome in power. In lonely seasons, may we recall that our God reigns forever. No matter what we face, may the words of this song continue to uplift and encourage us.

Life has a way of bringing unexpected twists that can leave us feeling overwhelmed and doubtful of God's presence. Relationship troubles, financial strains, health issues - trials can hit suddenly, making us question if God really is in control. It's in seasons like that when I'm especially grateful for the bold anthem "Our God is an Awesome God."

Though storms may come, the lyrics remind me that they do not define my life or determine my future. God holds my life securely in His hands. As Michael W. Smith sings with conviction, "Judgment and wrath He poured out on Sodom; mercy and grace He gave us at the cross." This verse encapsulates the awesome dichotomy of God's nature - both ruthlessly just and extravagantly loving.

I'm reassured knowing that the same God who demonstrated His mighty power by parting the Red Sea is also intimately acquainted with my struggles. He is never too big or grand to care about my life. As the song says, "Our God is an awesome God" - awesome in love, awesome in glory, awesome in power!

The unrelenting beat drives home these truths about God when my faith wears thin. I can't help but declare "He reigns forever" at the top of my lungs when doubts creep in. The music lifts my gaze from my circumstances to the God who reigns over them.

Life will continue to be unpredictable, but I can stand firmly on the unchanging nature of God. He brings order through the chaos, purpose to the pain. My life - with all its mountaintops and valleys - is ultimately in the hands of the awesome God Michael W. Smith passionately sings about. What a comfort that brings, both now and for eternity!
