GREAT IS OUR GOD AND HIS PLAN FOR HUMANKIND, SO LET’S PRAISE HIM AND GO ABOUT DOING GOOD.
1 Chronicles 16:25
great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.
Great is our God and His plan He has laid out for each of us; the one for the whole. In Him is no evil and everything of Him is considered exceptionally good. He has a great plan for humankind, if we collect the wisdom, He has for us and began to understand how He works through us and in us; using His love for us to make it happen, as He has purposed.
The word GREAT depicts a person’s or thing’s extreme character (or make up) and how it is viewed, the direction it takes, and the impact it makes on others and its surrounding. In this instance, it is a sign of YHWH’s, (God), vast power and excellence; His supremacy; how illustrious, eminent, respected (even though some say they do not believe, when YAH is at work, most change their tune), well known and admired (marveled at His extremely impressive and somewhat daunting ability to be omnipresence (He is everywhere at all time – wherever you go He is there), omnipotent (He is all powerful – nothing in heaven nor earth can stand against His will), and omniscience (He knows everything – nothing can be hid from Him). He is our great God; our great Creator; His great works; all leading to that great day.
Our responsibility is to be sensitive to what the Lord is telling us, as individuals, how to serve Him and His great plan for humankind. It requires each one to seek Him first to explore the wisdom of His word; find your calling and then get about doing good. With our focus on God’s greatness, and not men’s mess, that part, which God, from before time began, ordained you to do will come into view. You will begin to accept the challenges of this world and take the lead (away from the enemy), in the role He has for you, in His great plan.
So, get to really know YHWH, GOD, through our Lord Jesus, to see just what you have been missing.
