Summary
Devotion to the awe of God is holy reverence for who He is and what He calls holy, not amazement for what He's done. We can, and should, have amazement for what He's done, but that's a separate response.
In our honest effort to emphasize that God is with us in the ordinary, we have, at times, lost our awe for the sacred. We have sometimes domesticated God, imagining a God who serves us, reducing Him to fit into our busy lives, our souls' desires, and our safe routines.
Awe restores God to His rightful place. It is the acknowledgment of His majesty, His sovereignty, His dominion, His authority, and His holiness.
Awe anchors our soul in suffering, expanding our vision of God's victory. Awe reorders our hearts around God's worth. Awe produces holy dependency on God. Awe fixes our eyes on the power of revelation beyond the miracle. And Awe expands our vision of God's grace.
God is not common, and neither are we. We are made for the extraordinary. Devotion to awe is the forge that shapes us to see God's glory in the ordinary without making God ordinary.
