Ascribe greatness

Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass: Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. – Deuteronomy 32.1-4

Ascribe greatness to our God the Rock
His work is perfect
All His ways are just
He is a God truth
In His is no sin
He is always just
He is always right

Wow.

There is more there that we can hope to cover in one little blog post – but I like looking at the whole package and all of these descriptions packed together give us a wonderful way to see our God.

I think the focus here is simply the greatness of God and the call is for His people to acknowledge His greatness. There are plenty of reasons here to accept that God is great but sometimes I just need to recognise that He is great. He is greater than any of my problems. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. He is greater than my own sinful flesh. He is greater than my fears about the future. He is greater than my meagre bank account. He is greater than my even more meagre strengths and abilities.

Nothing is greater than He is. Nothing can disrupt His perfect plan. His greatness is always perfect and just and truth and sin free and right.

We all need to acknowledge the greatness of our God as we go through each day. Ascribe to Him the greatness He is due.
