god is awe-ful and good.

From C.S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia:

One of the children learning that Aslan is a lion wants to know more...

"Is he—quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion."

"That you will, dearie, and no mistake," said Mrs. Beaver, "and if there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking they're either braver than most or else just silly."

"So then he isn't safe?" said Lucy.

"Safe?" said Mr. Beaver. "Don't you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about being safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good."


Good reminder for all of us to remember that God is sovereignly awe-ful and eternally good.
