UNDERSTANDING THE GREATNESS OF GOD

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.” Deuteronomy 7:9
         God had done remarkable things for the people of Israel and yet they still strayed from Him. They were His chosen people, not because of their great size as a nation, for they were quite small by comparison to the other nations surrounding them. It was God’s choice to favor them.  In spite of that favor they lost sight of His majesty and supreme love for them and turned toward other things.
         So it is to this very day.  Believers get caught up in the minutia* and lose sight of God’s sovereignty and glory.  It is in acquiring a deep understanding of just exactly who God is and who we are in relation to Him that should evoke a passion to serve Him out of undying devotion.  Those who either don’t believe or say they do with their lips yet deny Him with their lifestyle do not grasp the incredible importance attached to truly knowing the Lord.  God is faithful even when we are not (2 Timothy 2:13) for He cannot deny who He is.  Regardless of how we behave, God is God and always will be.  In Him there is no shadow of turning (James 1:17). What does that mean?  It means “God is the ultimate Author of light. In Him there are no changes of brightness or clarity. There is no fluctuation in His character.” 1
          Why do I continually beat the drum to diligently keep God’s precepts?  Do you not know the importance of serving the Lord after you have received forgiveness for all your past indiscretions?  It comes from a lack of comprehension.  We must have a deep and abiding understanding of precisely who God is, what He has done for us and who we become as a result to fully grasp the magnitude of His greatness and our unworthiness.  He makes us worthy by Christ’s blood. Never lose sight of the importance of your relationship with your Heavenly Father.  Draw as close as you can to Him and alter your lifestyle to reflect a life of devotion to the One who saved you from and everlasting eternity apart from Him.  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
