The Glory Of His Majesty by Dr. D. James Kennedy

Declare
His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.—Psalm 96:3
In your opinion, who is the most
awe-inspiring person ever to have lived? What makes that person so
incredible? Now think of God. Isn’t it amazing that no matter how
awe-inspiring some people are, none can compare to the majesty of our great
God?
Today let’s dwell on God’s
awesomeness. First of all, God is a
Spirit. While He is a personal Spirit
who touches each individual life, He is also an infinite Spirit, inhabiting
every place, filling heaven and earth and reaching beyond the farthest star.
Psalm 139:7–8 says, “Where can I go
from Your Spirit?…If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in
hell, behold, You are there.” His Spirit is everywhere.
God is also eternal. He has
existed forever. He is the great I Am,
not the great I Was. Psalm 90:2 says,
“Before the mountains were brought forth…You had formed the earth and the
world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” He was here before time began and shall
remain after time ends.
As well, God never changes. Malachi 3:6 says, “For I am the Lord, I do
not change.” He doesn’t continually
evolve or learn; He is complete and perfect already. Nor do His counsels change. Psalm 33:11
says, “The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart to all
generations.”
God is infinite, eternal, and
unchangeable not only in His being, but also in His power. Jeremiah 32:17 says, “There is nothing too
hard for You.”
To grasp even the smallest inkling
of God’s immenseness, think of our entire universe as a tiny grain of sugar
on God’s finger. While this picture doesn’t accurately depict God because it
implies that He is finite, it does give us an idea of His magnitude.
When we catch even a glimpse of
God’s Majesty, we can do nothing but respond in continual praise. Today, take some time to dwell on the
awesomeness of our God, and offer Him praise for His majesty.
