What Makes God Great Part 2

1st Chronicles 29: 10-14
10 David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying, “Praise be to you, Lord, the God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.
14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.
Psalm 139: 7-10
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Jeremiah 23:23-24
“Am I only a God nearby, ”declares the Lord,  “and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? “declares the Lord.
   “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord.
Psalm 147:5
Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.
Job 11: 7-9
“Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.

“Listen, my people, and I will speak; I will testify against you, Israel:  I am God, your God.
I bring no charges against you concerning your sacrifices or concerning your burnt offerings, which are ever before me.
I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your pens,
10 for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.
11 I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you, for the world is mine, and all that is in it.
Psalm 102:12
But you, Lord, sit enthroned forever; your renown endures through all generations.

18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
1st Peter 1: 16
16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”[a]

“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’[a]
who was, and is, and is to come.”

What Makes God Great? Part 1 

What Makes God Great? Part 1 

Today I have decided to share on the greatness of God.  As you look at the title of today’s blog, it ask the question; What Makes God Great?  Well, I will have to say, that the short answer would be that He is great, because “He is God”, end of discussion.

However, I think that it would be more beneficial to my readers, for me to share what the scriptures have to say about the greatness of our God. This is a lot to take in at one time so this lesson has been written as part 1 and part 2.   Hopefully, through reading these scriptures you will be in absolute awe of our “Amazing God!”   He is greater than anything that we could possibly fully comprehend.
Now let’s dive into His word fully expecting to be blessed beyond measure. By the way, it’s ok to have a moment or two where you break out in praise to Him as you read these scriptures.
He is so worthy of all of our praise!
