How Great Is Our God?

Most of us have heard the saying, "Nothing is greater than our God."  We use these words lightly and we often AMEN this saying, not really taking the time to think about what we just heard.  We could think of this problem or that problem, or this situation or that situation but we know that God is bigger than any problem that we could ever face.  But why is God so great?  Is it his mercy, or his kindness? 
The Lord is full of grace and righteousness; truly, he is a God of mercy. Psalms 116:5

Truly nothing is greater than God, nothing is too difficult for him.  Is God so great because of the great things that he has done?  He delivered Daniel from the mouth of the Lion.  He brought down the walls of Jericho.  He delivered Jonah from the belly of the whale.  And each of us can think of times in our lives in which we know that God intervined and brought us through  difficult situations.  Surely we can know that God is greater than anything because of his mighty deeds.

Who can speak about all the mighty things the LORD has done? Who can announce all the things for which he is worthy of praise? Psalms 106:2

There are many things about God that I could list that shows his excellent greatness, I've only mentioned a tiny bit of his wonder and his might.  Nothing that we could say about him, or what he has done can compare to who he is, and who he is explains his greatness. How can we describe God? One of the ways the Bible describes him is  simply God is love.  (1 John 4:16). 

And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 1 John 4:16


God is love and 1 Cor. 13:8 says that love never fails.  God is love, and love never fails, HE NEVER FAILS.   We often think of love as something vague, a feeling or a gesture.  In our culture, we don't really even understand what love is in this world.  God is greater than anything that you will ever face,  he is mighty in deed and his love for you never fails.   God's love for you is not a passive love, his love for you is reaching out.

We have no need to fear tomorrow because God is love, and love never fails.  We have no need to worry about the past.  God is love and love never fails.  He will not fail you, he will rise up and take care of those who seek him for shelter.  He makes all things beautiful in his time.  "Nothing is greater than our God."
