How Great is our GOD!!!
As I sang this song this morning, it struck me. How great IS our God? I've always sang that more as a statement then a question, saying "God you are great." Which is great, but I fear it was me putting God in a box of greatness, and today I sit and ponder how great is our God? Singing that as a question. How great are You? Lord open our eyes to Your greatness!
He wraps Himself in Light- God's goodness... Not even darkness can hide from His love and goodness!
Beginning and the End- Time is completely in Your hands, You have complete control. You are constant throughout time: always loving, full of grace, full of justice!
The GodHead 3 in 1- Father, Spirit, Son... How great is that? I can't fathom the mystery of His trinity!
Name above all names- God, You are worthy of our praise at all times! My heart will continually cry out how great You are!
I only have a glimpse now of how great You are, Father! I cry out for you to reveal Yourself, Lord that you would give us a taste here on Earth of the treasures that are to come when we are united with You! Hide us under the shadow of Your wings, we desire to look upon Your face and be completely awed with Your greatness. We rejoice with all the blessings You give us and we cry out for even more grace to be shown that we may give that grace and love to those around us. Father, You are so great! I'm so humbled by Your grace and mercy.
What would it look like to live with this truth continually? What kind of life would we live if we really took God out of our box and lived believing in who He is, our great God who sent His Son to die on the cross, who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we might have life! What if we believed that He loves us and wants to give us what is best, wants to grant us the desires of our hearts and wants us to be completely satisfied in who He is through Jesus? What if we believed He is a God of righteous wrath who calls us to believe in Him and sin no more? What if we believed that there is no satisfaction in disobedience and that we will be held responsible for our actions? What would it look like if we believed the words that come out of our mouths when we say "How great is our God?"
My life would be different... My life will be different... What about you? What would God have you do as a result of His greatness? I want to do what David desired to do:
Psalm 145:1-3 I will exalt you, my God the King, I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
Sing with me: Yeshu acha he!
