Jeremiah 10:6
Jeremiah 10:6 "There is none like Thee, O Lord; Thou art great, and great is Thy name in might.”
Psalm 8:3-5 “When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him? Yet Thou hast made him a little lower than God, and dost crown him with glory and majesty!”
When I looked back over my last two Breads, I could see how similar they are. The questions I asked yesterday were already answered the day before. It seems strange that I could know in my mind at the airport that the Lord works His will according to His timing, and then as soon as I got back into the turmoil at work all that understanding just flew from my mind. It seems strange, but it’s not really much of a surprise.
The answer to the turmoil and the questioning is not really found by actively seeking out what God wants me to do at any given time. The answer is found simply by seeking Him and glorifying Him with praise.
The Psalms and the books of the prophets are full of wonderful praise that we can say back to the Lord. He is my rock and my fortress, my refuge, the God of truth (Ps. 31). He loves righteousness and justice, and the earth is full of his unfailing love (Ps. 33). The Lord longs to be gracious to you. He rises to show you compassion, for the Lord is a God of justice (Isaiah 30).
We praise the Lord, not because He needs us to remind Him who He is, but because we need to be reminded. We need to hear ourselves say how great He is and how much greater His ways are than our ways. And as we praise Him, we can’t help but get the proper perspective of our lives and our problems. Our problems and concerns may be big, but the Lord is infinitely bigger than our problems, and He is perfectly able to carry our burdens and solve our problems in ways that are so much better than we can imagine.
Are your problems overwhelming? Praise the Lord that He is all-powerful. Does your life seem hopeless? Praise the Lord that He is the God of all comfort and hope. Let your heart dwell on the Lord and not on your worries, and soon those worries will begin to fade.
“This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: ‘I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.’” Isaiah 44:6
Praise His holy name!
