greater|than> • part 2

The equation solves everything. Go ahead. Try it. Fill in the blank. God is > _____. God is > my latest crisis. God is > my parents problems. God is > my worst sin. God is > my guilt & shame. God is >. Chris Tomlin writes in one of my favorite songs:

Age to age He stands, And time is in His hands;
Beginning & the End, Beginning & the End.
The Godhead three in one, Father, Spirit, Son,
The Lion & the Lamb, The Lion & the Lamb

How great is our God!
Sing with me:
How great is our God!
And all will see
How great, how great is our God!

Name above all names,
Worthy of all praise.
My heart will sing: How great is our God!

Ever wonder why the smallest things in life stress us out? Ever wonder why we sometimes feel all alone, even when surrounded by people? Ever wonder why you can't get past the one thing that is always holding you back, holding you down? I wonder if it's because we haven't really turned it over to our Great God. There's nothing you've done that He hasn't dealt with before. There's nothing you can say that will surprise Him. There's not too much you can offload onto Him or dump on Him. He won't get stressed out. He won't get tired of listening to you. You can't scare Him off. You can't run Him off. He be here for you tomorrow, & the next day, & the next day, & the next day, & the next day after that. He's a Great God. And He's Great at what He does. And He wants to do Great things in You, through You & for you. He's all about being a Great God. And in being Great in you, through you & for you He brings glory to His name. So let Him. Let Him invade your life today. Let Him be Great. He's going to be Great regardless. Let Him be > in your life. Not for you, but for Him.
