How Great Is Our God?

Is it really possible to define and describe the greatness of God? How do you know that you have been moved and experienced His greatness? Have you ever been into a situation when you have no other option to turn to but to believe and have faith in Him? Or have you been in a condition when your faith in Him is developed and nurtured? Like what’s the difference between these situations, anyway?

Knowing God and determining His greatness is not just during those times when you experience abundance. His greatness is not only shown whenever you received all of the things that you wished for, own the healthiest bank account, the happiest relationship or possessing the perfect psych. If this is your gauge in determining God’s greatness, then what will happen if you will be introduced to a ruthless and challenging situation? Will you still be able to say that God is great and praise Him despite the storms?

I know a person who was diagnosed with multiple illnesses few days before her 29th birthday. Oh she never had the perfect life either. She has experienced all kinds of depressing scenarios in life and has been faced to several struggles and trials. Despite all of those, she still manages to smile, give advises to people who need it and thank God for everything. She often will say that everything happens for a reason and that all things work together for good.

Until one fine day, while she was so excited for her upcoming birthday, she received a word from her doctor telling her that she has kidney and uterus problems. As she headed back to her apartment from her doctor’s office, her mind went blank. To her, it seems like this is more than life’s fair share. It was only few months from her break up with a long-time relationship and few days before her birthday. Questions popped into her mind. Doubt, uncertainties as well as rage came flashing through. She was asking herself if she deserves all of these. If God hasn’t seen another person living on earth except her? 

Right the moment she arrived at her apartment, she headed to her room shut the door behind her and burst into tears. And in all humility, she knelt down in prayer of awe to her Savior as she mumbles “Dear Lord, with all of my heart I thank you for this early birthday present.”

But of course, she is still suffering from those illnesses. She never asked God to take those away from her. She just asked Him to give her strength to face every day full of pain and treatment and asked Him as well to strengthen her faith in Him.

How great is our God? He is greater than any sickness and trials and struggles and challenges we have, we may have and we can have. How great is our God? He is marvelous that heaven and earth trembles upon hearing His name.
