Giving God praise

“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendour, for everything in heaven and earth is Yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; You are exalted as head over all.” 1 Chronicles 29:11
Sometimes it’s very easy for us to get so caught up in our own lives that we forget to take the time to reflect on God’s greatness. We can be so worried about what tomorrow holds for us, that we forget who is it that holds tomorrow in His hands. God is great in what He does: creating the world, providing for all our needs, etc. – but more than that: He is great for who He is. To Him belongs all power, glory, majesty and splendour.
In a similar vein we see the worship offered to God throughout the book of Revelation: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power...” (Rev. 4:11), “... power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise” (Rev. 5:12), “... praise and honour and glory and power, for ever and ever” (Rev. 5:13), “... praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen!” (Rev. 7:12).
So, next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by the circumstances you are in, or fear of what the future holds, take a moment to praise God from your heart for who He is, for His greatness, power and glory. It’ll change your perspective entirely!
