Scripture to Read: Psalm 95:3
God definitely deserves our voices to be lifted up in joyful shouting and singing to Him. God reminds us today in Psalm 95:3, “For the Lord is a great God and a great King above all gods.” We know God is great and wonderful and almost every Christian would agree that no one is greater or more wonderful than God our King. The problem for so many Christians here in the USA is that we allow our busy schedules to distract us from how awesome and wonderful God is and we find ourselves missing out on our sweet fellowship with Him and being in His Word. A great way to remind ourselves of God’s greatness, majesty, and glory is to open His Word and find Scriptures that declare this about Him. For instance, we see this in Psalm 135:5, “For I know that the Lord is great and that our Lord is above all gods.” We can take this Psalm and shout it back to our King by saying, “God, thank You that you are Great and that You are above all other so-called gods and that there is no one else like You!” We learn to pray Scripture back to our Father and King. God led David and other writers to pen the Psalms so that we could have them today to sing and shout to our Lord in a manner that brings Him the praise, honor, and glory He alone deserves. God uses His Word to transform our minds and hearts, so we must take the time to bathe in His Word.
Challenge & Application
· How often do you stop to consider how GREAT and GLORIOUS God is and that there is no one greater?
· How has God challenged you today to broaden and deepen your praise of Him just for Who He is?
Don’t forget to pray using the A.C.T.S. (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication) method!
