God is Great… the question is how great is God to you?
God is Great
God is Great! The Bible declares again and again how God is great. “Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.” (Psalm 145:3) He is the creator of heaven and earth. He is the giver of life. Everything about the Lord is great. He is great in who He is, and He is great in what He does. There is nothing impossible with God. (Luke 1:37) Nothing is too hard for God. (Jeremiah 32:17) There should be no question about how great God is.
How Great is He to You?
However, there is a question… “How great is God to you? How do you see Him? What do you believe about Him? God is only as great in your life as you see and believe Him to be. Your view of the Lord directly influences everything about your life. It affects every choice you make, how you think, what you say, and how you live. It impacts everything you do. He is greater than any enemy, sickness, debt, problem, or negative situation you may be facing, but to experience the greatness of the Lord in your life you need to know and believe God is great.
Begin Discovering How Great He Is
No one can fully grasp just how great the Lord is. Psalm 145:3 (AMP) tells us, “… His greatness is so vast and profound as to be unsearchable, incomprehensible to man. His greatness is unsearchable.” However, you can know Him more and have a better understanding of just how great He is. The Lord wants you to know Him. He has given us His Word and the Holy Spirit to help us know Him and experience His greatness.
The Word teaches us and shows us who God is and just how great He is. In the Old Testament, the Lord reveals His character — His love, righteousness, wrath, justice and promises. In the Gospels, He reveals Jesus — His character in flesh. Then in the New Testament we see the greatness of God at work through the church. Spend time in the Word and allow the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal to you all about the greatness of God.
Declare His Greatness
It’s okay to give thanks to the people who enrich our lives, but our praise and worship and our honoring of real greatness—should be for the Lord alone. He is great and greatly to be praised! He is great in love, great in goodness and great in grace. God is great in mercy and He is great in faithfulness. “There is none like You, O LORD; You are great, and great is Your name in might.” (Jeremiah 10:6)
One of my favorite worship songs is Chris Tomlin’s, “How Great is Our God”. Which you can hear at this link: CLICK HERE We should be declaring how great our God is everyday!
Look What the Lord Has Done
God wants to and will do great things in us and through us, if we will believe and let Him. I want to encourage you to begin to see how big He is and begin to declare His greatness. When you do…… get ready…. the Lord will begin doing great things.
When great things begin to happen in your life… remember it’s because of how great God is. Make sure you give all the glory to Him! The proper response for the good things in our life is “THANKFULNESS” that He helps us in them. NOT that we did them. Our declaration should be, “Look what the Lord has done”!
“I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.
2 I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart.
3 Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.”
Psalm 34:1
God is Greater Than any Problem
No matter what you may going through. Regardless of how big the problem may seem… God is greater. He helped bring down the walls of Jericho, He closed the mouth of the lions, He healed the woman with an issue of blood, He delivered Paul and Silas from prison and He will do it again. He will do it for you. God is not a respecter of persons. He just looking for someone to trust Him. Focus on how great He is and not the problem. God is Great!
