Living in Awe of God’s Greatness
“I will exalt You, my God the King; I will praise Your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise You and extol Your name for ever and ever. Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.” – Psalm 145:1-3 (NIV)
David’s words in Psalm 145 reveal a heart fully devoted to worship. His praise is not occasional but daily, not conditional but constant. He declares that God’s greatness is beyond human comprehension—so vast, so deep, that no one can fully grasp it. Yet, this mystery calls us into lifelong adoration.
Eugene Peterson writes, “Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act.” True praise is not based on emotions but on the unwavering reality of who God is. Even when circumstances change, God’s worthiness does not.
Alexander Maclaren reminds us, “He is great beyond all our conceptions, great in love, great in power, great in wisdom.” This calls us to praise Him not just in song but in the way we live. Worship shapes our hearts, aligning us with God’s perspective.
Do you praise God daily, regardless of your situation? Let worship be the rhythm of your life, echoing David’s declaration: “Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise.”
Prayer:
Lord, You are great beyond my understanding, and You are always worthy of my praise. Help me to exalt You daily, not only in words but in my heart and actions. Let my worship reflect Your greatness in all that I do. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
