August means: respected and impressive, distinguished, eminent, venerable, celebrated, exalted, prestigious, renowned, hallowed, honored, acclaimed, esteemed, great, important, lofty, noble, imposing, impressive, awe-inspiring, stately, grand, dignified- according to Google.
Sounds just like God, the most august Person you will ever meet! And yes, you can meet Him!
If you haven't already, or even if you have, the month of August might be the perfect time to get to know him, or know him better!
Start with silence. "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10
Take some time this month to be quiet, and get to know our wonderful God. For the first time, or just once again.
Have a great/august month!
