There are so many great things that I love about the Lord. I am absolutely positive that I cannot name them all! One of the Psalms that I love is Psalm 34:8 which says, “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.” I can truly say that I have tasted and seen His goodness. I have seen it when my heart was crushed by the circumstances of life. How great is our God? No matter how chaotic things appeared God was always there, always. You see, His love would always overshadow the circumstance and I would find peace in His embrace.
Whenever the circumstances tried to compete with which was greater, the issue or God, the Lord always proved to be greater. He would always make His love and peace very real to me. He would let me know that there was no match that was greater than Him. He is the ruler over all things and everything has to bow to the name of Jesus sooner or later but, the fact is clear, it will bow!
Let me just talk for a minute about the support system that we all have as believers. Ok, we have the Father, Son, the Holy Spirit, and the heavenly angels all backing us up to do what the Lord wants us to do. How awesome is that! God’s word is full of scriptures that encourage us that we can run this race and win!
If no one else is cheering us on guess what? God is!! He’s our biggest cheerleader. He always wants us to win. In fact His word says that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us (Phil 4:13) and that He always causes us to triumph in Christ (2Cor 2:14).
There is no self help group, psychologist, psychiatrist, life coach, pill, vacation, or any other person that has that kind of power. I’m not speaking against any of those things. However, I am emphatically saying that our God is greater!!
I would not trade Him for anything in the world because He has been so good to me. He loves me unconditionally. I’m so grateful for that because there are plenty of times that I fall short of doing things right but, God does not say to me “you messed up; I’ll talk to you when you get it together.” He is so not like that.
That’s why I can agree with Chris Tomlin, the co-writer of the anointed worship song, “How Great Is Our God.” It’s also why I can agree with what David said in the book of Psalms, “O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”
Reflections
- Thinking of the title of the song above, how great is God to you?
- When circumstances try to convince you that God won’t come through for you what do you do?
- In The word of God says, it says that He always causes us to triumph in Christ. Name some times where He has caused you to come out victoriously.
- How did you show your gratefulness to Him?
God Bless You!
