How Great Thou Art

When I was a little girl, my grandfather used to sing the old hymn, How Great Thou Art. He had a beautiful, deep bass voice and even as a young child, I remember feeling a movement on the inside when I heard him sing that song. If you’ve never heard the song, I urge you to listen to it. It talks about all of the awesome creations that God has created and how those things remind you how great He truly is. 

As I was sitting at my desk this afternoon, that song just started playing in my head! I talked to people and moved around but it kept coming back to me. So I said, I better pay attention to this! Then it came to me…no matter what I write each week, it all comes back to how great God is! We can’t get to freedom or breakthrough or prosperity without realizing who it is that we serve and how awesome He is.

I had a conversation with someone who has been having a very hard time in life and the Holy Spirit urged me to give her a hug one day. When I told her that I felt she needed a hug, she asked me, “What is it about you?” I told her that it was the Lord. She then said something so profound…”Is that what I’m missing?” I told her that she could have Him. He is right there waiting for her. Sometimes we forget how awesome it is to have the Lord. Someone who always listens, gives great peace that surpasses all understanding, and loves you like no other person. It shouldn’t take someone that doesn’t know Him to remind us but sometimes it does.

So this week, I just want to acknowledge how wonderfully great God is! He has been there for me when I felt like giving up. He formed my children in my womb and knit them perfectly together. He gave me His word that I can turn to in any situation. But best of all, He gave me His Son that died that I might have life! What has He done for you?

I challenge you today when you pray to just take some time to love on God. Don’t ask for anything, don’t complain about anything, just tell Him thank you! Tell Him how great He has been to you and see what happens! It might just take you to a new place of worship…He’s worthy!

Be Blessed!
