“For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.” (Psalms 96:4-6). I want to see him in his sanctuary and behold his glory. Splendor and majesty belong to him who alone is worthy to be praised. My heart cries out in inexpressible joy a song with the lyrics and melody from a heart set free. From out of my mouth and through quivering lips echo the shouts and screams a cry louder than the mourner lament coming from the mountain top. The refrain “How Great is our God.”
He is the God who “stretched the spangled heavens, infinite in time and space.” He is the creator of all that exist. The universe in all its majesty and vastness proclaims his glory in every particle, every atom, every quark and every minuscule speck of matter to massive immeasurable masses, the elements of matter that composes its existence. The power of his words can be seen in this simple statement, “Let there be…and it was…” To speak into existence the Universe with all its enumerable galaxies and unfathomable, uncountable stars is beyond my finite comprehension. Yet beyond all reason, I still believe that he spoke these words and all things came into existence. God of wonders, God of glory, God of heaven and earth, God of creation and God of you and me, I believe in you. You are wonderful. You are majestic. You are my God. You are awesome. You are the one whom I praise with my lips, the one whom I worship with my life. O God take my insignificant life and use it to bring glory to your name.
