Podcast #398: “I Stand In Awe” by Chris Tomlin and Nicole Serrano

Play episode

I’m Michelle Nezat and I hope to inspire you to discover and meditate on God’s Word through the songs you’re listening to on the radio.

I miss the wonders of God all the time. I tend to be so self-involved that I fail to look up and behold the majesty of the One who loves me so much He redeemed me. “I Stand In Awe” by Christ Tomlin and Nicole Serrano inspires me to consider God in all his glory and discover more about Him in Scripture.

We’re back in Psalm 33 this week to examine our response to the character and conduct of God.

In this episode, I discuss:

  • Defining wonder and considering the opposite
  • J.I. Packer’s quote, “You don’t get awe until you’ve begun to cultivate the sense that God is very great and you are very small.” – YouTube Interview
  • Exploring the action words in Psalm 33 that reflect our appropriate response to God
  • Observing the interesting word “fitting” in Psalm 33:1
