| “Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.” |
| —1 Chronicles 29:11 |
When you watch a movie, do you stay and watch all the credits roll by on the screen? I do. I find it fascinating to see all of the people it takes to make a movie. I also am fascinated by some of the job titles listed in those rolling credits.
It’s important to acknowledge those who contribute to any project. After all, they’ve worked diligently to bring that project to completion. They’ve invested their personal energy into making the project successful.
I wonder how often we stop to acknowledge what God has done in creating and sustaining our world and also in guiding us to become the people He wants us to be. We probably take God for granted far more often than we care to admit.
Fortunately, we have an excellent example of how to acknowledge God’s marvelous works in a prayer of King David, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 29:11. Here’s a part of that prayer:
Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
As we begin another day, let’s remember to acknowledge what God has done in our world and also in us. We can justly praise Him for the magnificence of who He is, as well as for what He has done.
