The Greatness of Our God....Daily Devotion

It's Friday Ladies! Whether you are feeling very TGIF today or ending an easy week, I hope you have a very relaxing and enjoyable weekend!

I get a "Verse of the Day" text from my dad every morning. (Yes, he is precious!) And I just love the one I got today, so I thought I'd share! It says: "He heals the heartbroken and bandages their wounds. He counts the stars and assigns each a name. Our Lord is great, with limitless strength; we'll never comprehend what he knows and does." Ps 137:3 (MSG)

Isn't that beautiful?? Sometimes I think it is so important to just STOP....and think about the greatness of our God. I am often so moved during praise and worship, or any time with the Lord, because I am overwhelmed by his love, his grace, and his strength, but mostly I am overwhelmed at trying to understand the BIG-ness (it's really the only word that can describe it!) of our God.

Have you stopped and appreciated God this week? Not just thanked him for your daily bread and your health, but really stopped to appreciate His goodness. Have you noticed the beautiful sunset He sent you? Have you recognized Him acting in your marriage? Have you seen His hand of favor on your children? Have you taken a minute to truly stand in awe of His love and of his "limitless strength?"

I know what you're thinking....who has time to stop?? But I challenge you (and myself), to try and take a moment each day to drink in the greatness of God! As this scripture says, "we'll never comprehend" everything about Him, but the more we stop and spend time with Him and admiring Him, the more we know OF Him.

Love you all!

Song Suggestion:
The Greatness of Our God by Hillsong

Give me grace to see more of who you.
May what I behold still my anxious heart.
Take what I have known and break it all apart.
For you my God, are greater still.

And no sky contains, no doubt restrains all you are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know, and I'm far from close to all you are,
The greatness of our God.

Give me eyes to see beyond this moment here.
To believe that there is nothing left to fear.
And that you alone are high above it all.
For you my God, are greater still.

And no sky contains, no doubt restrains all you are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know, and I'm far from close to all you are,
The greatness of our God.

There is nothing that could ever separate us,
There is nothing that could ever separate us from your love.
No life, no death
Of this I am convinced:
That you my God, are greater still.

And no words could say, or song convey all you are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know, and I'm far from close to all you are,
The greatness of our God.

And no sky contains, no doubt restrains all you are,
The greatness of our God.
I spend my life to know, and I'm far from close to all you are,
The greatness of our God.
