Responding to Greatness

Psalm 95 1-7 says,

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol Him with music and song.




3 For the LORD is the great God, the great

King above all gods.

4 In His hand are the depths of the Earth,

and the mountain peaks belong to Him.




5 The sea is His, for He made it, and His

hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us

kneel before the LORD our Maker;




7 for He is our God and we are the people o

is pasture, the flock under His care.

Today, if you would only hear His voice!

“For the LORD is the great God, the great

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.




“In His hand are the depths of the Earth,

and the mountain peaks belong to Him”

(verse 4).

Isn't it good to know that God is a God of thedepths as well as a God of the heights?




When we're living on the mountaintop, He is

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

there.

“The sea is His, for He made it, and Hishands formed the dry land” (verse 5).




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!
