GOD'S GREATNESS
IN HIS WORD
Scripture Reading--Psalm 95
As you read this chapter each day,
make it part of your family life
as you meditate on God's promises.
Everywhere we look in this world God created, we see His greatness. No wonder the psalmist wrote, "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God" ( Ps. 14:1a, 53:1a ). Someone is utterly foolish to think that our world evolved into existence. It's as crazy as thinking we could take the separate parts of a watch, shake them up in a box, open the box, and discover a beautiful, accurate timepiece. We need more faith to believe that God didn't create this world than that He did.
Though this world is a wonderful testimony to God's greatness, we need to base our faith on something more permanent. The Bible tells us, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away" ( Matt. 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33 ). This world is only temporary; God's Word is eternal. Therefore, the testimony of Scripture is our greatest authority for understanding God's greatness.
The following are wonderful Bible verses ( with emphasis added ) for meditating on the greatness of our God: "O Lord my God, thou art very great" ( Ps. 104:1 ). "And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen" ( Neh. 8:6a ). "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ" ( Titus 2:13 ). "Wherefore, thou art great, O Lord God" ( 2 Sam. 7:22a ). "For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone" ( Ps. 86:10 ). "Oh Lord; thou art great, and thy name is great in might" ( Jer. 10:6b ).
It's wonderful to see God's greatness in the world but more wonderful to see it so clearly described in His Word.
ACTION POINT: Read the verses listed above again. They will make God's greatness more real to you and to your family.
