Devotion 5/3, Great Are You Lord!
Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your mighty acts.
Psalm 145:3-4
Great is His faithfulness, that He remains faithful to us, even when we are stubborn people, disobedient, unfaithful, and many times deny Him, for He is great in His faithfulness! How great thou art!
Great is His mercy, they are new every morning. His mercies are better than life. It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. (Lamentations 3:22) He is the only One that has the power to forgive our sins, to restore us giving us a new opportunity to keep going. We don’t deserve His mercy and compassion, but He loves us so!
What we know about God is confined to our tiny brains, our limited experiences, our willingness to read about the great deeds of God in Scripture, and our hearing of his incredible work through the lives of older Christians. There is nothing quite like listening to a more senior, grace-filled brother or sister in Christ who knows our Lord and has experienced his power through worship, obedience, mission, and experience. Let’s commit to sharing our faith and experience with Jesus with future generations by what we say and do, out of love!
God Almighty, by your grace, I call you Abba Father using the word for Father that expresses the intimacy and dependency of a small child. However, your majesty is beyond my ability to comprehend, and your power is beyond my capabilities to grasp. What I do know, dear Father, and what I do understand of you, Almighty God, brings me to my knees in humble adoration and reverent appreciation. Thank you for your love, mercy, and grace that makes your majesty approachable and my mortality redeemable. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
We pour out our praise, so great are you, Lord!
