Your righteousness, God, reaches the high heavens. You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? – Psalm 71:19 ESV
This name in Hebrew is Awsaw Gadol.
Steps on Your Journey to Know God More Intimately
- Awsaw means do or make. It is translated with numerous different words. Gadol means great, high or mighty.
- Just read the Bible and you will see so many of the amazingly great things God has done in the past. I want to encourage you to take time every day to read the Bible. That is the best way to get to know God better. He wants you to know Him and to have a relationship with Him, but you have to take the time to seek Him and get to know Him.
- What are some of the great things God did in the Bible?
- What great things has God done in your life?
- I encourage you to keep a record of what God has done and is doing in your life and in those around you. It’s so easy for us to forget God’s work in our lives. I wish I had been better at keeping a journal of all God has done. It is so encouraging for me to go back and see what God did in the past.
A Prayer for You
God, You have done great things in my life and in those around me. Thank You for all You have done and are doing. Help me to remember all the things You did in the past. I don’t want to miss any of them.
