The Greatness of Our God

I’ve been meditating on this awesome song from a CD not-so-incidentally called “Love Revolution” by Christian Artist Natalie Grant. The track, “The Greatness of Our God,” is a worship song. The chorus is as follows:

No sky contains,
no doubt restrains all You are,
the greatness of our God
I'll spend my life to know
And I'm far from close to all You are,
the greatness of our God

There are several of God's qualities that floor me most often. One that I’ve shared before is "The God of The Universe wants a relationship with me." Another that I’ve been mulling as a result of listening to this song is His consistency. There is never a time when God will not treat us lovingly – even in discipline. Nor is there ever a time when He does not want to hear from us. And He always keeps His word. Numbers 23:19 summarizes His consistent character as compared to ours:

God is not human, that he should lie,
not a human being, that he should change his mind.
Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?

This aspect of God’s greatness makes me resolve to be constant in my relationships with others. We live in a world where word often means very little. We say one thing, our actions another. And even at our best, circumstances occur out of our control that keep us from doing what we say. Yet the more that we walk in Him, the more we learn to keep our word. With His strength, we make every effort to do what we say despite our human limits.

Lines in “The Greatness of Our God” also speak to the reach of God’s steady, unending love:

And there is nothing that could ever separate us,
No, there is nothing that could ever separate us from Your love.
No life, no death, of this I am convinced
You, my God, are greater still.

I found a YouTube clip of “The Greatness of Our God" that incorporates pictures highlighting God’s power. I encourage you to watch and listen.

Our God is Awesome – Great!
