PROCLAIM THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD

 1 Chronicles 16:8-13(NLT)

Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness.

Let the whole world know what he has done.

Sing to him; yes, sing his praises.

Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds. Exult in his holy name; 

Rejoice, you who worship the Lord.

Search for the Lord and for his strength;

Continually seek him.

Remember the wonders he has performed, 

his miracles, and the rulings he has given.

It’s great to take our eyes off ourselves and whatever is going on around us, in our own lives, or in the wider world because we can get a bit bogged down.😊 Sometimes, we have to take the time to draw aside from it all and put our eyes back on our Father God, back on the Lord Jesus our Saviour, back on the Holy Spirit our Helper and Friend and proclaim the greatness of our God.

These verses are just a part of a new song David had written when he was bringing back the Ark of the Covenant, and he reminds us how we need to be giving the Lord our thanks for all He has done. How much more can we rejoice and give thanks now we are this side of the Cross and Jesus has rescued us from our sins and a lost eternity in Hell.

How much more can we proclaim God’s greatness, His great mercy and loving kindness to us. We can sing to Him and exalt His lovely name with hearts that want to praise Him for evermore.

Sometimes we wander off though, don’t we? We can forget the enormity of what Jesus has done and we have to come back and continually seek His face again and remember the wonders He has performed in our own lives, again - and again.

So let’s do that.😊 Let’s come to His throne today and ask Him for His strength, His mercy, His grace for whatever we need and give Him all the praise and thanks He so greatly deserves. Let’s rejoice and bless His Holy name today. In Jesus name. Amen.
