Awesome!

For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe.  He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.  So show your love for the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.  You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve Him and cling to Him, and you shall swear by His name.  He is your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.  (Deuteronomy 10:17-21, NASB)

In this chapter of Deuteronomy, Moses is talking to his people.  He continues recounting the events from leaving Egypt through their wandering in the desert.  They’re poised to cross the Jordan River to enter the land that God had promised them.  Now Moses is reminding them to serve God and God alone. 

Moses reminds the Israelites just Who God is:  He’s “the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God.”  Moses also describes Him:  He’s fair (“does not show partiality”); God is completely honest (” . . . nor take a bribe”); He is just to the downtrodden (“He executes justice for the orphan and the widow”); and God loves everyone (” . . . and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing”).  In other words, God is not like us.  He is God.  And He is worthy of our praise.

Next, Moses gives instructions.  Since God provides for the alien, so should the Israelites.  After all, they were aliens in Egypt.  Next, they are to fear the Lord, serve Him, cling to Him, and swear by His name.  Finally, Moses reminds his people that God is their praise, and He is their God.  He reminds them of the miraculous wonders God performed for them to get them out of Egypt, and to sustain them on their journey through the desert. 

The descriptions of God, and the commands Moses gave to the Israelites still apply to us today.  They are timeless, as is God.  He never changes.  Indeed, we should fear God (“fear” means a healthy respect like no other).  We should serve Him wherever and however we can.  We should cling to Him, because He is fair, honest, just, and loving like no other.  While others will fail us God never will.  He is trustworthy.  Have you placed your trust in Him? 

My favorite description of my God:  Awesome!
