Ascribe Greatness to Our God

The Message today comes from a Song that God gave to Moses and he sang it for the Israelites. In Deut. 31:22 Scriptures tells us that Moses writes a song in one day and charges Joshua to “Be strong and of a good courage:” In 44 verses the song talks about the “Greatness of God, Israel’s character toward God, His tender care for Israel, the Israelites lack of appreciation for God, the sins of Israel, God’s Judgment on Israel and concludes with … “Rejoice, O ye nations, with His people: for He will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance on His adversaries, and will be Merciful unto His land, and to His people!” Often, I am mystified at the doings of God, And His enduring Mercy! The song begins with a powerful thought that of God’s Doctrine is free and abundant. His instruction drops as rain, a drop at a time filtrating the mind and the soul of mankind. It lays for a moment on the heart as a dew, tender as it saturates the being of His people, then the showers come refreshing the ‘growth’ that has taken place. Now we catch a glimpse of God’s Greatness in Verse 3-4 “I will publish the name of the Lord: Ascribe ye Greatness unto our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect: for all His ways are judgment: a God of Truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.” O the Word of God is so precious! The song continues, and I hear Vs. 9 “For the Lord’s portion is His people;” Yet if you read the entire verses from 1 to 44 He laments that they “forsook God which made them, and lightly esteemed the Rock of their Salvation!”  So, the message today is “Ascribe Greatness to God!” I want to thank Him for the 35 years He has placed me in this house and this Ministry, the glorious things that He has wrought through our Worship and Service together. Next week I want you all to have an opportunity to “Ascribe Greatness to God” for what He has done in your life these 35 years! As we have worked together for Him. I’m looking forward to a glorious day of celebration, memories of loved ones who were a part of our Church Family who have preceded us into Eternal Life, and the testimonies of  God’s People  of His Faithfulness!   I’m a happy camper – camped out here at Commerce Community Church with you and Jesus!    Loving you, Pastor
