Psalm 95:1-7
Psalm 95:1-7
“For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.” That affirmation of faith is found in Psalm 95 verse 3, as the psalmist looked around the saw the heathen gods, the gods of the nations that were not gods at all. He cried out “For the LORD is a great God and a great King above all gods.” Now if God truly is a great God, then how should we respond to His greatness?
A book was published some years ago called Your God is Too Small by J.B. Phillips and in that book he affirms the greatness of God. 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. What shall we do in response to the greatness of God today?
Well, first of all let’s thank Him. Verse 2, “Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.” Let’s be thankful that He is a great God. I note that His greatness extends to creation. Verse 4, “In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills are His also.” Isn’t it good to know that God is a God of the depths as well as a God of the heights? When you’re living on the mountaintop, God is there. You’re down in the valley, God is there. “The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land.” I’m glad that My God is a God of the changing places like the sea and the stable places like the dry land. No matter where we are we can thank Him for His greatness.
Let’s sing to Him. Verse 1, “O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.” And let’s worship Him. Verse 6, “O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.” The greatness of God is the answer to the smallness of man. When you see great sin and great disappointment, when you have a great burden to carry, remember you are worshiping a great God. And as we kneel down before Him, He becomes even greater. Let’s bow before our Lord today. Let’s thank Him. Let’s worship Him for He is a great God.
