OUR GREAT GOD AND KING

“For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.  In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.  The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.”  Psalm 95:3-7

       Here we find David singing with joy about the greatness of God.  His first couple verses tell us that Jehovah God is the maker of all things.  The Lord created the earth itself, the mountain peaks on the earth along with the seas and the land.  No one else can make such a claim.  Frankly, it is easier to believe that a Supreme Spirit Being orchestrated, organized and put in place all that the eye can see than it is to believe it all happened by chance.  If you doubt that, take a hard look at the intricacy of your hand with its 5 fingers, all functioning independent of one another. 

       Too many folks focus on the negative aspects of life rather than the beautiful, wonderful, positive and pleasant things.  No matter how difficult things may seem, it could always be much worse.  If you don’t believe that, all you have to do is watch the news.  We have a pretty good life after all.

       The Lord is the Great Shepherd.  We are His flock.  We must rely on His ability to lead us to the greenest pastures so that we can thrive.  God knows what He’s doing at all times.  We normally don’t have a single clue.  Doing it on our own is not the answer.  Allowing the Lord to mold us and make us into all He knows we can be for the kingdom in this life is the answer.  God created us for His good pleasure.  Our lives are to emulate the life of His Son.  For all that we should bow down and worship Him for all eternity, for He is truly a great and awesome God!  Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
