Great is the Lord

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods. I Chronicles 16:25

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. Psalm 48:1

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:3

The Lord we serve is awesome and magnificent. Think about a few of the things He's done for you recently.

In many places, the Bible says that we are just dust. We live for a little while, then our bodies go back to dust and our spirits go to either Heaven or Hell, depending on our choices.

As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. Psalm 103:15-18

What seems like such a long life to us, to God is like how fast the grass sprouts up, goes to seed, and dies.

Think of how insignificant we really are to God's whole big picture, and think of how great and mighty God is. Then think of how He lovingly cares for each one of us, loving us individually as His children, making sure our needs are met. It boggles the mind.

He is definitely worthy of our praise!
