Prepare For Life

As we walk with the Lord on the ancient paths how we perceive and respond to Him are all important. We all probably know the child’s blessing that begins, “God is great, God is good and we thank Him for our food”…such a simple prayer, such a profound prayer. God is good AND God is great. These are two very different concepts about God and they elicit two very different responses. God is good, He is full of mercy and compassion, He forgives, He is patient and long-suffering, kind and gentle. We respond back to His goodness with love for Him. God is great. He is all powerful. He reigns above all. He is sovereign. He is our creator. We respond to His greatness with respect, reverence, fear and awe.
