Knowing GOD'S Majesty

The true and living GOD is "clothed with majesty" (Psalm 93:1; NASBU). Majesty has to do with beauty, glory, ornament, and splendor. Simply stated, majesty means "great." GOD is great and when we speak of His majesty we speak of His greatness!

See His Majesty. Moses requested to see GOD'S greatness at Mount Sinai and the I AM granted His request. What Moses saw with his own two eyes GOD would have us to see by faith. Make Paul's prayer for the Ephesians your own: "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know...the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe" (Ephesians 1:18-19; NASBU).

Respond to His Majesty. When Moses saw GOD'S greatness he responded to it by bowing his head and worshiping. To see GOD'S greatness is to also see one's own smallness. To bow in deference with reverence from the depth of one's heart is the proper response to "the high and exalted One Who lives forever, whose name is Holy" (Isaiah 57:15; NASBU).

Magnify Him in My Life. Let there be no mistake - GOD is great. But is he great in my life? To magnify Him is to make Him great, to exalt Him, to give Him is rightful place in my life. He longs to "be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death" (Philippians 1:20; NASBU). He is worthy of my exaltation because He is great!

See His majesty, respond to His majesty, magnify Him in your life!
