"Even
outside the borders of Israel, the Lord is great (Malachi 1:5). The
Lord is not great because we call Him great. We call Him great because
He is great. When we worship God, we are not creating His greatness. We
worship God because He is so much greater than we can put into words or
even imagine. His greatness does not come from our understanding of Him
or our faith in Him. our understanding is limited. Our faith is weak.
Our God is great. we must never forget this. It's not about our great
faith or our great understanding. It's about our great God. He is great
in holiness and power. more than that, He is great in love. We see the
greatness of His love in Christ, His Son, our Saviour. we see His love
in the death of our Saviour - "Hallelujah! What a Saviour!" "His Name
will be great among the nations" (Malachi 1:11). To say that God's
greatness extends beyond Israel is not an excuse for complacency. Wave a
God-given responsibility to proclaim His greatness: "I am a great King"
(Malachi 1:14). The Lord is King. he's the King of love. Let us never
think that the Lord can be compared to earthly kings. He is far greater
than any and every earthly king. He is to be the King in our worship. He
is to be the King in every part of our life. When we say, "The Lord is
King, we're not just speaking words - even words of faith. we're
pointing to the reality - "The Lord is King" - and we're committing
ourselves to living in the light of this reality.
