HOW GREAT THOU ART!
“Stand up [and] bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. Thou, [even] thou, [art] LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all [things] that [are] therein, the seas, and all that [is] therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee.”~ Neh. 9:5-6
I remember as a young convert listening to that dear man of God, Bev Shea, sing “How Great Thou Art.” The same chill and thrill goes through my being today as it did those many years ago when sung. I likewise have a kindred feeling when I hear the contemporary worship song, “How Great is Our God.”
Darling David said of the God he adored, “Great [is] the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness [is] unsearchable.” Therefore, said he, “I will declare thy greatness.” This is exactly what Moses exhorted the children of God to do, “...ascribe ye greatness unto our God.” And he did; listen to the Law giver, “For the LORD your God [is]...a great God...mighty.”
I’m fearful that we no longer present to the world a GREAT GOD. The One presented, even by many seasoned Christians, is not omnipotent (all-powerful), but rather, impotent (powerless). Only those with giant souls can convince mankind that their God is Great!
The god of the internally dwarfed Christian is like unto them.
“The first step down for any church [or Christian] is taken when they surrender their high opinion of God.”~ A.W. Tozer
