"For I know that the Lord is great,and that our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases, he does, in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all deeps. He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. He it was who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and of beast; who in your midst, O Egypt, sent signs and wonders against Pharaoh and all his servants; who struck down many nations and killed mighty kings...and all the kingdoms of Canaan, and gave their land as a heritage, a heritage to his people Israel."

This is our God. OUR God. Doesn't that fill you with awesome wonder and amazement? OUR God, who has all this magnificent power, who cares for you and me individually. No wonder the Psalmist calls out for the world around him to bless the name of the Lord, and praise His greatness!

"O house of Israel, bless the Lord! O house of Aaron, bless the Lord! O house of Levi, bless the Lord! You who fear the Lord, bless the Lord! Blessed be the Lord from Zion, he who dwells in Jerusalem! Praise the Lord!"



(Psalm 135:5-12, 19-21)
