"The word of God is the greatest, most necessary, most important thing in Christendom. Without the external Word we would not know one spirit from another...Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scripture." - Martin Luther

Superlatives are too small for God!

Psalm 145:5 says:

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works, I will meditate.

I was thinking of this verse in light of an upcoming prayer meeting on Friday with my church family and a thought grabbed my attention. In prayer we actually get to be with God! Get that, be... with... God! Be with the One who defines majesty. Not only majesty…but glorious majesty…not only glorious majesty...but the glorious splendor of His majesty! One superlative piled on top of another to attempt to capture a glimpse of the Person of God. W.O.W.

So next time you, I, or anyone else partakes in “being” with God, consider this verse. Better still, when we contemplate on being with this God, consider the greater fact that He desires to be with us. What condescending love…what grace…what a Savior!

There remains then the wondrous... works... of God...unsearchable riches in Christ...!
Now doesn’t that make prayer appear to be as precious as it is? Christian, enjoy your God, Redeemer and Friend!

Good post! Along that same line, here's that quote I read in CG:

"We should feed and nourish our soul with high notions of God which yield us great joy in being devoted to Him."
