The Psalmist confidently declares in Psalm 135:5 “I know that the Lord is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods.”
Interesting he does not say “I believe that the Lord is great” but instead “I know.” To him there is no doubt, debate or hesitation it is a fact that the Lord is great.
So do I know that? Well of course I do is the quick answer that comes back! As Christians it’s easy sometimes to come up with the right answer to questions like that. However deep down in my heart do I really know that as a reality in my day to day life?
If I know that the Lord is great then I can rest secure in Him and not worry about the future. There may be difficult economic times ahead but if I know the Lord is great that should make a difference to my life.
There are many wonderful expressions of praise and worship in the Psalms. If I know that the Lord is great then this be shown in my worship of Him. It should be full of awe, amazement and wonder at His greatness.
May we all be able to say sincerely “I know that the Lord is great!”
