“Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. His greatness is unsearchable.” Verse 3
Can
you sense the depth of David’s fervent devotion? He is overwhelmed by
the majesty of God. It is almost as though he is experiencing
exasperation over the limitations of language to express the
limitlessness of an eternal God.
The
LORD is Infinite in goodness, in wisdom and love, superbly artistic in
creation, dazzling in brightness as even the angels cover their faces
with their wings in His presence. He is all powerful, all knowing,
everywhere present at all times, with no beginning and no end. How
great He is, indeed.
Yet,
God, the Almighty One, desires fellowship with us. Incredible. The
Creator wants intimacy with His creatures. His perfection and majesty
is beyond our comprehension, yet He has revealed His heart of love,
forgiveness and compassion to us, even on our worst days.
The
vastness of a clear, starlit night sky, the immensity of soaring
mountain ranges, the most thunderous storm and the ceaseless crashing of
endlessly rolling ocean waves cannot compare to the greatness of the
LORD, the beauty of the LORD.
There
will never be enough praise, enough instruments and choirs, or enough
concertos and symphonies composed to adequately honor the splendor of
the King.
O,
Awesome God, what exquisite joy we feel to know the Great I Am speaks to
us in a still small voice and is well pleased with the simplest song of
a devoted heart. Though unworthy in and of ourselves, You have
clothed us in the righteousness of Christ and given us a new song to
sing. Halleluia, great are You, Lord.
Chris Tomlin leads us in worshiping our
Amazing God.
