No one can fathom!

Psalm 145 "...Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom."

As I read this I just stopped for a minute to think about that last phrase! When I think of God I can think of great things that he has done, of his endless love and forgiveness. I can think of the amazing things that he has demonstrated in my life. I can read about his power in scripture. Yet I still cannot fathom his greatness. His power is so beyond what I can even imagine. I can imagine his power, parting the red sea, manna falling from the sky...etc. and yet his greatness is still more. Wow!

What are we to do? verse 10 says "All you have made will praise you...They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom."

So God has made me - I should praise him - and tell of his might in my life and in the lives of others and what he can do for you - SO THAT OTHERS MAY KNOW OF HIS POWER! We are his instruments. Can you imagine a band where some of the musicians decided they didn't feel like bringing their instruments to the concert? Dumb...we are God's instruments and we should carry our instrument and practice it every day. Being in the word of God daily so we will be better at playing. Jesus should go with us all the time and we need to seek him in every part of our life, even the little details.

Finally, vs. 18 says "The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth...The Lord watches over all who love him..." Doesn't that bring so much comfort to you? He is not just near to some, but to everyone. He also wants us to come to him truthfully. Not with pride but humbled that we are in his presence. Not trying to hide our sin from him but confessing it truthfully. Knowing the truth that Jesus died on the cross and took the punishment for our sins. We are free to live in the grace, the free gift of salvation given to all who believe in Jesus. That is the power of the cross. WE ARE FREE INDEED!
