\u201cThere is none like you, O LORD; you are great, and your name is great in might.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the LORD is to be praised!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Psalms 50:1<\/b>\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>The Mighty One, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.\u00a0Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.\u00a0Our God comes; he does not keep silence; before him is a devouring fire, around him a mighty tempest.\u00a0He calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that he may judge his people:\u00a0\u201cGather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!\u00a0 The heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge!<\/p>\n

Joshua 22:22<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThe Mighty One, God, the LORD! The Mighty One, God, the LORD! He knows; and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith against the LORD, do not spare us today<\/p>\n

Nehemiah 9:6<\/b><\/a>\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cYou are the LORD, you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve all of them; and the host of heaven worships you.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 32:18<\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0You show steadfast love to thousands, but you repay the guilt of fathers to their children after them, O great and mighty God, whose name is the LORD of hosts,\u00a0\u00a0great in counsel and mighty in deed, whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of man, rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds.<\/p>\n

Isaiah 1:2<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth; for the LORD has spoken: \u201cChildren have I reared and brought up, but they have rebelled against me.<\/p>\n

1 Kings 18:21<\/b><\/a>\u00a0 <\/b>\u00a0\u00a0And Elijah came near to all the people and said, \u201cHow long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.\u201d And the people did not answer him a word.<\/p>\n

In this Psalm we see the greatness of God who is worthy to be praised. \u00a0Yet other scripture calls us out – “how long will you go limping between two different opinions” “but they have rebelled against me”. \u00a0Limping between and rebelling against what? \u00a0 I think we limp and rebel along these lines; Giving and keeping, content and wanting, at peace and being anxious, faith and no faith, Resting and unrest, joy and unhappiness, belief and unbelief, allowing ourselves to be wronged and being critical of others, trusting and questioning, listening and not wanting to hear, time for God…. There is no need to limp along and rebel against God. \u00a0Our lives are so much better when we choose to follow Him and humbly serve, honor and obey. \u00a0Look to the one who is able to do more than we ask and much more than we can imagine. \u00a0Spend time in His word and believe He is sovereign, holy, mighty, loving, powerful, God forever to be praised and worshiped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
