Why can one person be moved to tears by a sunset, and another never even notices it on the drive home? This week, we use Big Daddy Weave’s song, “Overwhelmed,” to lead us to many different Scriptures, but two major truths…we can see and not perceive…we can perceive and not delight.
Without delight, we cannot glorify God. This song leads us to remember how overwhelming God is…in a good way.
In this week’s episode, I discuss:
- A presentation by Francis Chan called “The Awe Factor of God“
- How the heavens proclaim God’s handiwork – Psalm 19:1
- The voice of God
- The voice of the Lord is powerful – Psalm 29:3-4
- God wants us to hear AND obey – Jeremiah 7:23
- The power of the cross – 1 Corinthians 1:18
- We are forgiven – Ephesians 1:7-8
- We are free – Romans 6:22-23
- Choosing Christ for yourself
- A quote by philosophical theologian Jonathon Edwards
- We can see the work of God’s hands – Romans 1:20-21
- A discussion on God’s beauty, wonder, and glory

This Week’s Challenge
Choose a Psalm of praise (I am choosing Psalm 19…but you can choose your own!) and stay in it all week. Read it every day, read it in different versions, and read it out loud. Write your favorite verses on sticky notes or note cards, and try reviewing them daily to tuck them in your heart. Use the Psalm you choose as a tool in your prayer time. Recite the words back to God.
