Great is our God
Deutsch
English God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. A triad of harmony.
1. Visible sign of the present
The people of Israel experienced the mighty hand of God. A pillar of cloud, which turned into a pillar of fire at night, guided the people of Israel on their journey through the desert and determined departure and camp times.
And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night. Exodus 13:21 (ESV)
The Importance of God's Presence:
- Now
- Today
- Presence
- To be there
- Participation.
2. The permanent mark
When Noah and his family left the ark, God made a covenant with them. God said: Never again will I destroy the earth and everything that lives in it with a flood of water. The rainbow is supposed to be a symbol of this promise. When he appears in the clouds, I will remember the covenant I made with you. The promise remains in effect forever. The rainbow is the symbol of remembrance. If it's visible, I'll remember it. According to Genesis 9 (HFA)
Thousands of years have passed since the rainbow existed. The rainbow has delighted us all our lives. The fact that it is a sign of remembrance and that God thinks of us humans every time is great.
The Lord has remembered us; he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel; he will bless the house of Aaron; he will bless those who fear the Lord, both the small and the great. Psalm 115:12-13
(ESV)
3. God's Word - God's Presence
It is said that the Bible is the eternal bestseller whose author knows every reader by name.
We experience God's closeness when we read his word. God's word is an eternal word. A true word. Moses said to the people of Israel: The word of God is your life! Live according to God's instructions.
God's presence means to us:
- His presence
- His Sympathy
- His presence in all of our experiences.
Important: Look at God's Word, think about it and let it work.

David recognizes God's word is more precious than gold. It is inexhaustible and unfathomable. There are treasures there for us. Comfort, encouragement, edification, teaching, instructions, advice and much more.
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:8 (ESV)
4. God's greatness, his majesty and majesty
Thus says the Lord: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest? Isaiah 66,1 (ESV)
Jesus the Son of God spoke the same words to his listeners:
Heaven is God's throne and earth is the footstool upon which His feet rest. According to Matthew 5:34-35
We humans cannot calculate the size of the dimension. A symbol that only makes us marvel and adore. God is everywhere in heaven and on earth.
