Preparation:  This devo could be done the day after Thanksgiving, around a table of leftovers you’re now enjoying, or before the big day…any night this month!  Ask the older kids to arrive with a definition of these three words: Awesome, Amazing, and Remarkable. Or have the definition written out on a white board or little cards for all to read and have in hand. 

​

Awesome means extremely impressive or excellent and it’s a word we use to describe God.

Amazing means something that causes surprise or great wonder!

Remarkable means it’s worthy of attention…quite striking! 

All three words describe our God and his work in our lives.

​

When we give thanks it says in Psalm 95 that The Lord is great  - a great King – the  mountains belong to him, the sea is his, and he formed the dry ground.

​

Everyone say together, THAT’S AWESOME!

​

It also says he is our maker, our God, and we are always under his care.

​

Everyone say together, THAT’S AWESOME!

​

When we read in the Bible of something that’s of great wonder, we stand amazed at God’s power.

What’s something amazing God did for Daniel in the lion’s den? 

What about Noah and the ark?

​

What did he do for the blind and the lame when they came to him?

When God heals us, delivers us from scary things, and saves us from disaster, we can all say together,

THAT’S AMAZING!

​

Share with the kids something amazing God did for you personally.

​

When something is remarkable, it causes us to sit up and take notice because it’s so cool!

​

What did Jesus say to the criminal hanging by him on the tree?  He forgave him and gave him life! 2 Peter 3:9 says God is patient and doesn’t want anyone to die!

​

God sent his only son to earth and we celebrate his birth next month, and he’s the savior of the world.

THAT’S REMARKABLE!

​

These three attributes we can ascribe to God on a daily basis and it will make our days full of joy and hope as we say AARGH – you’re an awesome, amazing, remarkable God – HEY!
