How Great is our God

I will exalt you, my God the king;
I will praise your name forever and ever.
Everyday I will praise you and extol your name forever and ever.
Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
his greatness no one can fathom. Psalm 145:1-3

This weekend I observed something that brought tears to my eyes; a widow who had spent the last year battling with her husband as he fought cancer raising her heart in worship at his funeral.

God is greater. That is what her action spoke of so loudly, God is greater. It is strange how I lose focus of the greatness of God. He is GREAT, VAST and ALL POWERFUL, in our deaths and in our lives God is greater. We are part of His great plan not the other way around.

I know this is not a revelation of great wisdom, as my thoughts seldom are but it is a thought of continuing impact on my heart. A woman whose beloved has passed on, whose teen children are mourning, whose life has been permanently altered raises her hands in surrender and worship. Because God is greater.

This puts everything into perspective, all things fall short of God's greatness and therefore our worship of God's greatness should be placed at the highest level of importance in our lives. Everything else, all the worries and stresses of life, is secondary. Worship is primary.

How Great is our God.
