Have we diminished the Greatness of God in our lives? Are we making God into the image of man? Do we view God as we desire Him to be; or do we view Him as He reveals himself in His Word? The Psalmist understood the greatness of God “FOR THOU ART GREAT, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.” (Psalm 86:10) ”
God is Great in His Attributes. “For thou art Great.”
Do we ever meditate upon who God is? Do we think about each of His attributes? I would encourage us to take time each day to meditate upon one of God’s attributes. For example, one day, meditate upon the omnipresence of God (God is present everywhere). Read verses that show His omnipresence. Think about His presence as you work. Remember His presence as you spend time with family. No matter what happens during the day, remember “God is here”. The next day, do the same thing with another attribute of God. Often God loses His Greatness in our eyes because we don’t really know Him.
God is Great in His Works. “and doest wondrous things”
The word wondrous has the idea of producing “awe”. Have we lost the wonder of God’s work of creation, His miracles in the Bible, and His working in our lives? God loses His Greatness in our eyes when we forget that He still is working in our lives and the lives of the people around us. Paul wrote about the believers in Philippi. “He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Take the time to meditate upon God’s work in the past and the present.
God is Great in His Uniqueness. “Thou art God alone.”
Have we placed anything or anyone above God? Anything can become an idol in our life if it comes before God. God is truly above all. He alone is God. He alone merits our worship and our obedience. God says in Isaiah 44:8: “Fear ye not, neither be afraid:have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.” Sin, fear and worry enter into our lives when we fail to see the uniqueness of God. He alone is worthy of our worshipful.
A Prayer to Our Great God
Lord, help me to bow in submission before you. Help me to know you in all of your glorious attributes. Help me to see your wondrous works in creation and all that you do around me. Help me not to place anyone or anything before you. May I see you as you are and not as I want you to be. Amen”
