The Greatest God By Far

 

The past week has been entirely lackluster

as far as the weather goes!

I am so glad our joy is not weather-dependent!

Do you ever find yourself laughing, 

agape with sweet joy

as you read God's ancient words and promises, 

ever new

full of grace and truth, 

written for me and you?!

He is the Greatest God by far!

(Why are we so prone to put other gods before Him?!!💔)

Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good,
    a refuge in times of trouble.
He cares for those who trust in him,

Micah 7:8

Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; 

When I fall, I will arise;

 When I sit in darkness, 

The LORD will be a light to me.

Psalm 33:1-5 

(click link to read the whole glorious chapter)

Rejoice in the LORD, O righteous ones;

it is fitting for the upright to praise Him.

2Praise the LORD with the harp;

make music to Him with ten strings.

3Sing to Him a new song;

play skillfully with a shout of joy.

4For the word of the LORD is upright,

and all His work is trustworthy.

5The LORD loves righteousness and justice;

the earth is full of His loving devotion.

Our God is wonderful

The Greatest God by far

He knows and loves and meets us all

Exactly where we are

No secret place exists

Beyond the gaze of He

Who drapes the earth in scarves of mist

And gathers up the sea

He does not shut His eye

As some are wont to think

But fills the scrolls of earth and sky

With inimitable ink

His poetry confounds

None able to ignore

His majesty that knows no bounds

Yet points to so much more

The Lord is good, and knows

Each one that trusts in Him

Though darkness strikes a hostile pose

His Light no depth can dim

Faith marvels at His Word

And feasts upon His grace

A gift, precious and undeserved

To salvage human race

No forgetful God, He

But wonderful and true

His delight, kindness and mercy

To likes of me and you

Oft obstinate and proud

Oft unthankful and vain

He stirs the dust of Heaven’s cloud

And kisses earth with rain

For He is wonderful

The Greatest God by far

He cares and loves to meet us all

Exactly where we are
