7 for He is our God and we are the people o
is pasture, the flock under His care.

King above all gods” (verse 3). That's a greataffirmation of faith the psalmist wrote as he
looked at the heathen gods of other nations.

If you have a small God, you'll have small
faith; if you have a great God, you'll have
great faith--not great faith in your faith but
great faith in a great God.
If God truly is a great God, then how shouldwe respond to His greatness?

First, thank Him. “Let us come before Him
with thanksgiving and extol Him with music
and song.” (verse 2).
Be thankful that He is a great God. Note thatHis greatness extends to creation.

and the mountain peaks belong to Him”

When we're living on the mountaintop, He is
there. When we're down in the valley, He is
there.

I'm glad that my God is God of the changing
places, such as the sea, and of the stable
places, such as the dry land. No matter where
we are, we can experience His greatness.
Second, we should sing to Him.

“Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let
us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation”
(verse 1). And we should worship Him:
“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us
kneel before the LORD our Maker;” (verse
6).

The greatness of God is the answer to the
smallness of man. When you see great sin
and great disappointment or when you have agreat burden to carry, remember that you are
worshiping a great God.
As you kneel before Him, He becomes even
greater!
