In a world of platitudes and superlatives, God is truly the greatest. We may recognize and admire people as great thinkers, great scientists, great inventors, and great achievers in their fields. They seemingly tower above others in many ways, but they still have the same needs we all do. “They experience aches and pains. They have troubled minds and hungry hearts. They cannot stave off death nor guarantee life beyond the grave. Only God is truly great, great enough to meet all our needs, great enough to forgive all our sins, and great enough to carry us through the dark valley of death into eternity to be with Him forever.” So let us rejoice in the Greatness of God and declare like the Psalmist, “You are great …You alone are God.” — Psalm 86:10

Immortal, invisible, God only wise,
In light, inaccessible hid from our eyes,
Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days,
Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise. — Christian hymn with words by Walter Chalmers Smith
