Have you ever imagined how big God is? Have you ever thought about His omnipotence and omniscience? What about His omnipresence? We were looking at His goodness the other time and we saw that He is not just good, He is goodness personified. Now let us look at His awesome greatness.
We cannot
talk about God without looking into the Bible anytime we want to examine the
character or nature of God. In the Book of Psalms chapter 93 and verse3 we read
as follows:
3 “For the Lord is a great God and a
great king above all gods”.
Again in the
book of Deuteronomy chapter 10 and verse 17 we read as follows:
17 “For the Lord your God is the God
of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty and terrible, which
regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:”
This portion
goes on to explain that God is great, as well as mighty and terrible.
King David
of Israel we all know was one man who saw God do great things. He saw God use a
little Sheppard boy whom He (God) had anointed, to slay a lion, then a bear,
and then a giant reputed to be the super champion of his own time, when he
tried to defy the armies of the living God. God used him to do amazing things.
He therefore by the Spirit of God tells us in the book of 1 Chronicles chapter
29 and verses 10 to12 as follows:
10 “Wherefore David blessed the Lord
before all the congregations: and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of
Israel our father, forever and ever.
11 Thine, O Lord , is the greatness, and the power, and the
glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in heaven and
in earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou is exalted as head
above all.
12 Both riches and honor come of
thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in
thine hand it is to make great and to give streghnth unto all”.
These verses
followed a series of events in the Bible during which David told the
congregation of Israel that although he had desired to build God a temple, God
had refused him because he-David, was not qualified. God Himself had chosen his
son Solomon to build him a temple. The one whom the Lord had chosen was still a
child. King David did not want a shabby work to be done because this God is a
great God. He therefore decided to gather Israel together so that they can give towards the
building of the temple. When they had finished giving, he was amazed, excited
and elated and spoke those beautiful but great and true words above, about the
greatness of God.
Talking
about the omnipotence of God, we see His power demonstrated in the creation of
the World. The Bible tells us in the book of Genesis, that in the beginning God
created the Heavens and the earth. Many of us have not yet understood the
concept of the heavens.
