“MY GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ART!”

“MY GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ART!”

“O LORD, OUR LORD, HOW EXCELLENT IS THY NAME IN ALL THE EARTH! WHO HAST SET THY GLORY ABOVE THE HEAVENS”

“What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,” Psalm 8:4-6 (NKJV)

When Christ shall come, With shouts of acclamation And take His faithful Children home What joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And there proclaim, “MY GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ART!”

My friends, today let’s make it personal, as we focus on what Jesus Christ means to us and believe with all of our heart, that Calvary was all about, just you and your salvation, as we come into His Presence.

In addition, let nothing penetrate our thoughts except the presence of God, as we tell our friend, our Savior, the love of our life “HOW GREAT THOU ART!” And it is at this moment that we don’t think of how far we are from Christ, but how close we are to him in spite of how hard this journey has gotten.

We no longer base our victories of this world on just the promises of God, but on the penetration of God’s Spirit that has each of us trembling at the awesomeness of a God who would love someone like us. And all I can say is “Thank you Father.”

Thank you, “despite awareness of my own sinfulness and humanity today, as I look at the Cross, [and recognize what it means to me] I’m just in awe of the fact that You see me just as perfectly righteous as Jesus, because though He knew no sin.

Consistent with this, He permitted Himself to be made sin on my behalf and to suffer the death that I deserve. Thank you Father” 2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 2:9 (B. Liversidge) Philippians 2:9-11(NKJV) tells us “Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name.

That at the name of Jesus [one day my friends]every knee shall bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

My friends, that text says one day all, even the god of this world and his forces, will have to bow to Christ but today, and forever more until I can see him face to face and here Him say “Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful… [now] Enter into the joy of your lord.” Matt. 25:21(NKJV)

Until that day, I will still bow and give him praises because of this Journey and what it took so that I like Christ, may conquer death. So my friends, every single day let all who seek His kingdom, consciously and unconsciously realize that we all walk through the “valley of the shadow of death.”

Simply because this is where the god of this world attempts to take us, under the submission of his forces and the sentence of death and the consequences that a decision to follow him entails. But my friends as we praise God and the plan that the Trinity has laid out for our Salvation, we can never “fear evil.”

“For the Lord our God, He is the One who goes with [His children and]. He will not leave [us] nor forsake [us].” Deu. 31:6 (NKJV) “MY GOD, HOW GREAT THOU ART!” But as we get up off our knees still in awe of HOW GREAT GOD IS, we still must realized that after the rest and comfort we have experience in the loving arms of our Savior, that we still have a way to go on this journey.

But first we must move out of our comfort zone and then we will begin to see the world as it is, not as Satan wants us to see it. So continue to praise God day and night as you allow your faith to guide, as you endure while knowing OUR GOD IS GREAT AND HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
