The Lord is Great

As I consider God, I mean the one true God of the universe, the Creator of this whole thing, the One who keeps the whole thing together, the One with the ultimate plan...yeah, that GOD. I often find myself trying to bring Him down to my level, trying to shape a god the way I think he should look, do the things I think he should do...make the story come out the way I think it should go.
We are pretty good at trying to shape a god for ourselves, of course we'll add some of His attributes, we'll take the love and the grace, but we'd often like to get rid of the justice, the holiness, the perfection and make Him more like us. Apart from Him we have none of His attributes, we think we know how things should unfold and when they don't, we are rocked.
When you stop and ponder the attributes of the God in charge, the One with the plan, when you stop and consider Him for a moment, you will praise God that neither you or I are running the universe.
God is in completely in charge, His ways are higher than our ways, He is above us in every-way and yet he stoops so we can get a glimpse of Him.
  Psalm 135:5-6  For I know that the Lord is great, And that our Lord is above all gods. Whatever the Lord pleases, He does, In heaven and in the earth, in the seas and in all deeps.
Stop for a moment today and consider Him, high and lifted up, in His glory, you may never be the same.
