Sometimes, the most complex, indescribable experiences in life can be difficult to articulate into words. For example, how do you describe the complexity of the universe, the stars, galaxy and more? How do you describe the birth of a new born baby? What about the supernatural healing of cancer or deadly disease? We could come up with a long list of adjectives, but it would all return to this simple phrase - How Great is Our God!
The Bible poetically responds to God all through scripture. Listen to Psalm 104 as David describes God...
1 Praise the Lord, my soul.
Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.
2 The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment;
he stretches out the heavens like a tent
3 and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.
This is just one passage of many that describe God from the Bible. And today, we have modern hymn writers that write songs that elevate God as well. Chris Tomlin is one of those creative songwriters who wrote a simple song that describes the greatness of our creator. He wrote, “The splendor of a King, robed in majesty, let all the earth rejoice. He wraps himself in light, and darkness tries to hide, and trembles at his voice. How Great is our God!” Simple and true. Our God is great!
As we sing this song in worship to the Lord this weekend, I invite you to respond to His greatness through all of creation. Honestly, once we realize how great He is, we instantly are humbled by the magnitude of His presence in our lives.
Join me as we worship the Great God and King of the universe this weekend.
