God tells us to stand in awe of Him. And this is right, for He is God, the illimitable, unfathomable Creator and Sustainer of all that is. Worshiping Him, we take a shape for which He ingeniously designed us, availing ourselves of the global health benefits of syncing with that design. This message will shine a light on the awesomeness of awe.
