1 Samuel 4:8 We’re doomed! Who will deliver us from the hand of these mighty gods? They are the gods who struck the Egyptians with all kinds of plagues in the wilderness.

Can you imagine the scene – the Philistines have defeated Israel in a battle and they are feeling great! Then they hear this mighty roar as the Ark of The Covenant is brought into the camp of Israel… and their courage just walks out the door!

They know the stories. They know how great God is. They know they need to be afraid – even though they had just won a battle!

God needs to be that great in your life, not just when you need Him because everything is going to pot, but always and forever!

Psalm 96:4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods.

Does this mean there are other gods? People create gods for themselves all the time, gods they can deal with and gods they can bend the rules with.

There is only one God and that is God our Father in heaven – but we each have our little things we hold up as if they were gods and treat them better than we do our God in heaven!

Don’t allow the world to confuse you or persuade you there are other gods who are great. Only one God is Great! Worship Him with all your heart and mind and soul!

Psalm 145:3 Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.

When we describe someone as being great, we normally mean they are great in a particular manner or way; great with money, great with love, great with hugs, great with remembering things…

When we say God is great it is because He is great in every way! Great in wisdom, power, faithfulness, holiness, grace, goodness, mercy – the list goes on!

When we look at what God has done we begin to see we cannot really grasp just how great He is.

Just accept it and know that He is your God!

Romans 11:35 “Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?”

When we receive a gift, we should not expect to have to repay the giver for giving us that gift.

Just the same, we should not expect to receive anything back when we are giving someone else a gift.

God gives us more than we deserve and expects nothing back for those gifts – but He does expect us to acknowledge Him as our Saviour and King.

Lift up Christ today as your Lord and Saviour, not because you need anything, just because He deserves it!
