One most beautiful hymns ever to be written is the hymn, “O LORD My God!” The whole hymn and its intention is summed up in the refrain, which says, “THEN SINGS MY SOUL, MY SAVIOUR GOD TO THEE, HOW GREAT THOU ART, HOW GREAT THOU ART…” When Billy Graham, the great evangelist, was once asked why does he use this hymn so much in his crusades, this is what he said…
– “It glorifies God. It turns Christians’ eyes toward God rather than upon themselves. I use it as often as possible because it is such a God-honouring song.” – Billy Graham
David, writing in Psalm 145 describes God’s greatness and majesty.
– “3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable.” – Psalm 145:3
David realises that the LORD God Almighty, the God of all creation is indeed great, and has to be praised, adored and worshipped greatly.
– “GREAT IS THE LORD”
– “GREATLY TO BE PRAISED”
– “HIS GREATNESS IS UNSEARCHABLE”
Dear brothers and sisters, may this realisation dawn upon us that our God, the God of the Bible, the LORD Jesus Christ our Redeemer should get all our praise, adoration and worship. However, let us also realise that, only a heart that truly sees God in all His greatness, glory, grandeur and majesty, is a heart that truly praises, adores and worships God.
How about us this morning? Do we see God in all His greatness, glory, grandeur and majesty? May the LORD open our eyes to see who our God truly is. Even so, the LORD Jesus help us.
"[David in Psalm 145:3]...stacks truth upon truth: who God is, how we respond, and why we will never reach the end of His magnificence. His inherent greatness calls for abundant praise, and the endless depths of His character keep our worship fresh forever."
