The Greatness of God

"Thou Art Very Great" Psalm 104:1,34

Psalm 104 begins with the acclamation that God is VERY GREAT. Great is the God of Heaven!

He is great in power. Creation displays His mighty power. All things were made by Him. The heavens were the work of His hands (Psalm 102:25). His power was demonstrated in history as seen in the Nation of Israel. His power was revealed in His Son who in the days of His flesh, wrought many miracles. He cast out demons, cured the sick, healed the blind. People were amazed at the wondrous power displayed in the Incarnate One. Surely "no man can do these miracles except God be with Him..." His power was shown in His ability to love those that did not deserve love. His power to free us from sin is seen at the Cross. There He broke the chains of darkness, and set the captive free.

He is great in majesty (Zech 9:17). He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Isaiah 63 speaks of His glorious apparel, and the greatness of His strength. Psalm 24 is a proclamation of His majesty: "The Earth is the Lords! He is the King of glory." On the Mount of Transfiguration, the disciples were eye witnesses of His majesty. Luke tells us that there came a voice from the excellent glory saying "This is my Son! I am well pleased with Him." How the Father delighted in His Son for His willingness to come down from the excellent glory and into our sad world to suffer for sins by the death of the cross.

He is great in grace (2 Cor 8:9). Think of the riches of His grace. Do we really know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ? "He who was rich, for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might become rich."

He is great in love. The Bible says that His love passes knowledge. We cannot explore the depths of His love. He loves the World (John 3:16); He loves the sinner (Romans 5:8); He loves the religious, the intellectual, the widow. He loves the rich, the rebel, the apathetic. He loves the sufferer, the poverty stricken, the lonely, and the helpless. He loves the homeless. His love so vast and far reaching, that it encompasses the great span of the sphere of man, and touches the heart of individual souls.

He is great in wisdom. He is the "all wise God." We may not understand all the mysteries of human suffering, and pain. Yet He is the "all wise God." In His wisdom He runs the universe, and "worketh all things out according to the counsel of His will."

He is great in redemption. In Mark 2 Jesus is confronted by a man who could not walk. He says to the man that his sins are forgiven. This cause quite a stir. Who can forgive sins but God? Jesus, knowing their thoughts asked: "What do you think is easier for me to do; to say to this man that his sins are forgiven, or to say, rise, take up your bed and walk?" (Mark 2:9). The gospels are filled with the miracles that Jesus performed. In three words, He calmed a raging sea (Mark 4). He said "Peace, be still." In three words, He raised a man from the dead (John 11). He said, "Lazarus, come forth!" Think of the power of His words. Yet to forgive sin, to redeem mankind, the Lord Jesus could not just speak the words. He had to go to the Cross. 1 Peter 1:18-19 says "Ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold...but with the precious blood of Christ..." "Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us" (1 Cor 5:7). It wasn't easy to forgive sin. Yet in His greatness, He found a way to redeem men from under the law. Truly He is great in redemption. "Thou art worthy...for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God, by Thy blood..." (Rev 5:9)

He is great in glory. He is the king of glory...What wonderful words the angel proclaims as He entered into the world: "He shall be great.." (Luke 1:32). The One who is great in heaven, shall be great on Earth. Paul proclaims in Titus 2:13 that He is the Great God..." Why? Because He gave Himself for us. What wonderful joy is ours to remember the one who is great in glory.

Psalm 104 opens with the wonderful affirmation of the greatness of the Lord. May we know the Psalmist's joy of meditating on the sweetness of the one who is great in Heaven and the one who is our Savior and our Lord.

How Great...is our God...sing with me...
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God.
You're the Name above all names,
You're Worthy of all praise,
And My heart will sing

How great Thou art, how great Thou art....
