Do we really know how magnificent God is?
Scripture tells us what we need to know.
7 He stretcheth out the north
over the empty place,
and hangeth the earth
upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds;
and the cloud is not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face
of his throne,
and spreadeth his cloud
upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters
with bounds,
until the day and night
come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble
and are astonished
at his reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power,
and by his understanding
he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished
the heavens;
his hand hath formed
the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are
parts of his ways:
but how little a portion
is heard of him?
but the thunder of his power
who can understand?
Job 26:7-14
King James Version
3 Great is the LORD,
and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy works to another,
and shall declare thy mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty,
and of thy wondrous works.
Psalm 145:3-5
King James Version
12 He hath made the earth
by his power,
he hath established the world
by his wisdom,
and hath stretched out the heavens
by his discretion.
13 When he uttereth his voice,
there is a multitude of waters
in the heavens,
and he causeth the vapours to ascend
from the ends of the earth;
he maketh lightnings with rain,
and bringeth forth the wind
out of his treasures.
Jeremiah 10:12-13
King James Version
4 He telleth the number of the stars;
he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord,
and of great power:
his understanding is infinite.
Psalm 147:4-5
King James Version
13 Let every soul be subject
unto the higher powers.
For there is no power but of God:
the powers that be
are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power,
resisteth the ordinance of God:
and they that resist
shall receive to themselves damnation.
Romans 13:1-2
King James Version
