You are the Greatest.

 You Are the Greatest

A Reflection on Psalm 145:3, Philippians 2:9-11, and 1 Chronicles 29:11

You are the greatest—not in measure or degree,

But in the fullness of Your being, for all eternity.

No one compares, no rival stands before Your throne.

You are the greatest—and You call me Your own.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. (Psalm 145:3)

Greatest in power—You spoke the stars to birth,

You hold the oceans in Your hands, You framed the heavens and the earth.

Yet this same power bends to heal the broken and the small,

The greatest King of all became the servant of all.

Greatest in love—no love has ever been so deep,

That left its throne of glory for a stable, cold and bleak.

The greatest love laid down His life to lift us from the fall.

You are the greatest—and You gave Yourself for all.

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name. (Philippians 2:9)

Greatest in wisdom—past our highest thought,

The mysteries of Your ways cannot be bought or taught.

You work all things for good, though we may not understand.

The greatest wisdom holds us in the hollow of Your hand.

So I declare it now—with every breath I take,

You are the greatest, Lord, for Your own name’s sake.

Not in comparison with others, for there is none beside.

You are the greatest—in You, I will abide.

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor. (1 Chronicles 29:11)

Amen.
