The Glory of God’s Majesty

Exalting the Majesty of God

Exodus 15:11 (ESV)

"Who is like you, O Lord, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?"

Starting Prayer

Dear Lord, as I come before You today, I seek Your wisdom and guidance. Grant me insight into Your Word as I meditate on Your majesty and glory. Help me to understand the depth of Your holiness and the greatness of Your deeds. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Background

Exodus 15 records the song of Moses and the Israelites after their miraculous deliverance from the Egyptians at the Red Sea. This song celebrates God's power and majesty, acknowledging Him as the unmatched ruler among all gods. The selected verse, Exodus 15:11, exalts the Lord's uniqueness and supremacy, emphasizing His holiness, awesome deeds, and wonders. Today's title concludes this week's theme of reflecting on the glory of God's majesty.

Be Encouraged

The verse from Exodus 15:11 reminds us of the unmatched greatness of our God. There is no one like Him in all the earth. His holiness sets Him apart from all other beings, and His glorious deeds testify to His unmatched power and sovereignty. As we meditate on His majesty, let us be filled with awe and reverence for Him, acknowledging His greatness and submitting ourselves to His will.

Furthermore, God's wonders and miraculous deeds throughout history demonstrate His faithfulness and love for His people. Just as He delivered the Israelites from bondage in Egypt, He continues to work wonders in our lives today. Let us trust in His power to overcome any obstacle we face, knowing that He is mighty to save and faithful to fulfill His promises.

Supporting Verses

- Psalm 99:3 (ESV) - "Let them praise your great and awesome name! Holy is he!"

- Isaiah 40:25 (ESV) - "To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? says the Holy One."

Invitation

I invite you to join me in exalting the majesty of God, acknowledging His uniqueness and sovereignty. If you have not yet obeyed the gospel of Christ, I urge you to recognize God's greatness and respond in faith (Hebrews 11:6), repentance (Acts 17:30-31), public confession of faith (Romans 10:9-10), baptism for forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:38) and be added to the saved (Acts 2:41, 47). Share this message of praise and worship with others, inviting them to experience the joy of worshiping our majestic God together.

Concluding Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank You for revealing Your majesty and glory to us through Your Word. Help us to exalt Your name and acknowledge Your greatness in all we do. May Your holiness and awesome deeds inspire us to live lives that bring honor and glory to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

May God bless your day.
