Week 17 - Day 6


2 Kings 11-13; Psalm 95

*Click here to read these passages:

“For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. 
In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 
The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.” (Psalm 95:3-5)

Thinking once again about the complexity of God and His character…
He is great – the creator of the universe; all-knowing; all-powerful.
But He is also good – He loves and cares for us as a shepherd and his flock.
Mighty yet merciful…

There is a little prayer that kids say that goes, “God is great; God is good.  Let us thank Him for our food.”  I used to say that little prayer before every single meal growing up.  I even remember once when our family was just sitting down to supper, and I was about to say the prayer when the phone rang.  I jumped up to answer the phone and answered, “God is great; God is good….uh…I mean…hello.”

I probably didn’t really think about the words a whole when I would pray that prayer as a child.  But I wonder, what if I would truly live with those words on the edge of my heart and tip of my tongue?  I think I’d be spending more time in worship of our great God who is so good.
