Awestruck: 30 Days of Wonder in the BibleSample

God's people stood at the edge of the promised land, but turned back in fear.

They believed the report of giants instead of the promise of God. In rebellion, they refused to enter—and God declared they would wander the wilderness for forty years. An entire generation would never see the land, except for Caleb and Joshua, who trusted Him fully.

Yet, God lives—and because He lives, His glory will fill the earth.

Israel's failure didn't cancel God's purposes. Their rebellion didn't shake His sovereignty. Even when His people turned away, His glory was certain.

That's the wonder of this verse. Human weakness can't diminish God's greatness. His glory can't be blocked by wilderness, rebellion, or fear. God's glory is not fragile. It doesn't depend on human faithfulness. He is the unshakable reality that surrounds you today.

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells the same story: everything exists to display His glory.

• Creation bursts with it.
• Miracles reveal it.
• Redemption magnifies it.
• And one day, every eye will see it.

Even now, the whole earth is filled with God's glory.

You can see it in blazing sunsets, in acts of mercy, in the quiet transformation of a human heart. And the clearest display of all? John says we saw it in Jesus, "full of grace and truth." The Word made flesh brought God's glory close so that we could behold it for ourselves.

Every page of the Bible, every promise of God, points our attention back to Him. The same glory that filled Eden, the tabernacle, and the resurrection morning is the glory that surrounds you today.

You're living in the middle of God's glory story.

Reflect:

How does remembering God's glory give you perspective when you face doubt?

Tomorrow we'll discover a comforting truth that’s changed hearts for thousands of years.
