Who is equal to the sovereign Lord and what oblation of obeisance is not due Him?
The thundering and cataclysmic devastation of all that we know would simply be the faintest whisper of His power. His reach extends to the farthest corners of an unending universe. There is no escape from His gaze and no limit to His mighty and terrible power ... and no measure capable against the expanse of His unfailing love for it is without limit...
His justice towers over the unjust and the wicked as an object of impending terror and date of recompense, yet His mercies are extended to the guilty submissive to Him in repentance and redemption. As the origin of all that is just, He offers the freedom of choice even to future destiny. If any perish, it is through their freedom to choose it...
He reigns above all that exists and stands high over the heavens in unequaled power and glory, yet has the heart of humility to suffer exquisitely in the quest to redeem what is so unworthy. He suffers heart breaking injustice at the hand of His own creation in a search for true beauty - His quest to find what He treasures... sincere love, freely offered...
He is the father of all fathers to those who choose to be His true children. His counsel and correction are the joy and treasure of those who call Him Abba in truth. His wisdom followed becomes their crown of honor and unperishing wealth under the audience of the heavens. They will not be disappointed and their hearts' desire will ever be for Him...
He is blameless and perfect in His ways and wisdom. His compassion is toward the powerless, the humbly broken and those who suffer others' misused freedom to choose. He will take an accounting and exact justice against the injustices they have suffered in the day of reckoning and will lift them up. He is the rescuing savior of all that are His children ...
In His omnipotent power He speaks what He will and His perspective is the truth of what exists before men without question. Only fools speak against Him or challenge His decrees for it is in the face of His compensation toward their own spoken destiny. He will stand before all men and the host of heaven to defend His reputation against them...
But for those of spirit kindred to His own, He will hold them close on that day. They will see Him with adoring eyes and fellowship with Him throughout endless time. Their tears will be wiped away and all they have suffered in their journey will be counted as nothing against the day of their reunion with Him in the indescribable glory of His presence...
Stars may fall and the earth collapse to be rolled up like a scroll, but their contentment and joy will never be diminished in their wondrous inheritance through His unearned grace. Far beyond the reaches of harm and in the presence of overwhelming glory devoid of sin, peace will finally reign and the desiring spirits of men be at graceful rest...
Oh Lord, indeed you are good! It is forever my loving joy to echo the truth of your own declaration - that You are God and there is no one like You.
