In a culture of exaggerated language where words like magnificent and extraordinary are used for everyday matters, we struggle to find adequate terms to describe the breathtaking glory of our Great God. For God's elect, words still matter, and careful language reflects a reality that only God's people understand. If you truly know Him, you will grasp what awesome truly means, testifying to the world through our truth-telling God. Even the most superb language fails us in describing our Awesome God, as Moses praised in Exodus 15, declaring, "Who is like You, oh Lord, among the gods? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?" Our words remain limited because God is great and awesome beyond description, often leaving us speechless, as Job was in the aftermath of God's self-revelation, responding only with silence. Scripture reveals that while we can have a true and personal knowledge of God, He remains ultimately incomprehensible to us; we cannot fully grasp His whole being. God's greatness, power, thoughts, ways, wisdom, and judgments are far beyond human ability to fathom fully. We cannot know everything about even one aspect of God's character or work due to several reasons: God is infinite while we are finite, living and dying according to His will; the perfect unity of God's attributes functions in a way beyond human experience; the effects of sin distort our understanding of truth; and in His sovereign wisdom, God chooses not to reveal all things to us, disclosing them only when we need to know. This incomprehensibility humbles us, evoking a heart of wonder and awe before His greatness, yet it also affirms that God is knowable truly, personally, and sufficiently through His personal revelation, encouraging solid conviction and godly living.

Responding to a poignant letter addressing theological questions about suffering, tragedy, and God's sovereignty, namely why innocent lives can be lost, and whether an omniscient God can feel sorrow or disappointment if He already knows the outcome, this message points to Romans 8:28 and Isaiah 46, affirming that all life is divinely appointed, existing within God's perfect unfolding plan. In the papal Humanae Vitae and the Theology of the Body warning of the fallout when humanity rejects God's design for life, sexuality, and family, it nevertheless offers hope that if people return to God's order, through chastity, stewardship, and faith, they can be healed from their grievous sins. We must trust God's sovereign timing even in grief and sore trials, realizing that life is not random, but God-appointed. Consequently, our task is to live faithfully, expectantly, and joyfully knowing that Almighty God is preparing for our resurrection and eternal life.
