Our God Is an Awesome God (1 of 6)
Series: Theology 101 With Isaiah

Isaiah 6:1-4
1. I read about a fellow who was hurting all over. He went to his doctor and said, ''Doc, everywhere I touch, it hurts. When I touch my head it hurts. When I touch my shoulder it hurts. When I touch my arm it hurts. When I touch my chest it hurts. When I touch my leg it hurts. When I touch my foot it hurts. What's wrong with me?''

4. In chapter one entitled ''Why We Must Think Rightly About God'' Tozer writes:
''What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. The history of mankind will probably show that no people has ever risen above its religion, and man's spiritual history will positively demonstrate that no religion has ever been greater than its ideal of God.''
5. I agree. What we believe about God and how we think of God will greatly affect our lives. A low view of God tends to produce a low form of living. A lofty view of God tends to produce a higher form of living.
