Ever sit
back and wonder about the glory of the Lord?
How magnificent is He? Can our
words even begin to describe His majesty?
Can our thoughts even begin to fathom His greatness?
Don’t get me
wrong. Just because we cannot fathom God
doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t try. Just
because we cannot completely speak to God’s majesty doesn’t mean we shouldn’t
try. It does mean that we should do it
humbly. As we see in this psalm, we can
give glory to God and sing of His incredibly majesty to the best of our
ability. He is a great God and evidence
of His hands are everywhere. Such a
realization should bring great joy to us!
In this
greater context, the psalmist reminds us of the evil generation. These are the Hebrews who wandered the desert
for 40 years. These are the Hebrew people
who saw the sea part, who saw the plagues in Egypt, who saw evidence of the
presence of the Lord at Mt. Sinai. These
are the people who saw all of this and who failed to be moved. The psalmist encourages us to not be like
them.
Instead, rejoice! Live in the majesty of our God! Sing and dance as one who intimately knows
the Lord! Go forth and live as a
testimony to God and to the world about His splendor and glory and grace and
mercy and love and blessing! He is our
God. He is our joy.
