HOW GREAT THOU ART!
Scripture Reading
Psalm 95:3--"For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all
gods" ( emphasis added ).
Titus 2:13--"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing
of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."
One of my favorite hymns is "How Great Thou Art." In this wonderful song, the write exalts God for the many ways He has demonstrated Hes greatness. Some of the words are,
Oh, Lord my god, when i in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee.
How great Thou art!
Another song exalts God this way,
Our God's a great God, and worthy to be praised!
Our God's a great God, oh praise His holy name!
He made the world so great, He deeps me by His grace,
And soon I'll see His face,
Our God's so great!
When our children were small, we had a table grace we prayed before our meals.
God is great, and God is good,
And we thank Him for our food.
By His hand we are all fed,
Give us, Lord, our daily bread.
In Jesus' name, amen.
Yes, we can seek to acknowledge the greatness of our God's in many ways. But it's easy to sing songs and to say words that speak of God's greatness withouth experiencing that greatness. We can see the best proof of God's greatness in a life He has changed. When Isaiah ecperienced God in all of His greatness and glory ( Isa. 6 ), hs whole life was transformed.
POINT TO PONDER: How is God's greatness evident in you life, in your marriage, or in your family?
