How Great Is Our God!

Today is 7/22 and the verse of the day is 2 Samuel 7:22, "How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is none like you; we have always known that you alone are God."  GNT

In this verse, King David is extolling the goodness and sovereignty of God.  And through the ages, our God has remained the same.  While people change and culture changes, our God does not.  We, as humans, try to employ different methods of explaining who He is.  He doesn't really need our antics.  One only has to see the beauty of creation to know that He exists.  The way He created mankind is complex and intricate, and so very detailed.  Only God can do that.

Even with such a wonderful God, this world can be a place of sadness and trials because we were born amidst the sin within it.  But our God is still God.  He is yet faithful.  And He loves us more than we could ever know.  He is with us in every high and every low.  When we accept Jesus as the payment for our sins, we are taking on the best insurance plan that was ever conceived.  Obedient lives for eternal salvation - I call that mercy.  He also throws in wisdom and knowledge to help us navigate our way.  It is so simple, we have trouble understanding it. 

God's ways are definitely not our ways.  His ways are far superior.  He is our Sovereign Lord and there is none like Him.  How Great is our God!
