For thou art great, and does wondrous
things: thou art God alone. Psalm 86:10
When anyone
begins an important work, he takes time and gives his attention to consider the
greatness of his undertaking. Scientists, in studying nature, require years of
labor to grasp the magnitude of, for instance, the sun, the stars, and the
planets. Is not our glorious God worthy that we should take time to know and
adore His greatness?
Yet how
superficial our knowledge of God's greatness is! We do not allow ourselves time
to bow before Him and to come under the deep impression of His incomprehensible
majesty and glory.
Meditate
on the following Scriptures and you are filled with a sense of what a glorious
being God is:
"Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness
is unsearchable" Psalm 145:3
"I will declare t1!) greatness.
They shall abundantly utter the memory of Thy great goodness" V6,7
Do not
imagine that it is easy to grasp the meaning of these words. Take time for them
to master your heart, until you bow in what may be speechless adoration before
God.
“Ah Lord God!... There is nothing too
hard far thee....The Great, the Mighty God,
the LORD of hosts, is his name, great in counsel, and mighty in work" Jeremiah
32:17-19
To this God answers, "Behold, I am
the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there a'!)' thing too hard far me?" V27
The right
understanding of God's greatness will take time. But if we give God the honor
that is His due, and if our faith grows strong in the knowledge of what a great
and powerful God we have, we will be led to wait in the inner chamber, to bow
in humble worship before this great and mighty God. In His
abundant mercy, He will teach
us through the Holy Spirit to
say,
"For the LORD is a great God, and
a great King above all gods.. . . O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel
before the LORD our maker" Psalm 95:3, 6.
