Human Response 318: Ascribe Greatness to God

Deuteronomy 32:3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God,

When the name of the Lord is proclaimed the response of the hearers is to praise the Lord. Ascribe greatness to Him. We believe strongly and confess daily that God good, God is great. We hear the Gospel and respond by living our lives with a continual attitude of praise and thanks to the Lord for His greatness over everything and for His goodness to us.

Ascribing greatness to God also means giving Him credit for all the good things and the blessings we enjoy. His Creation is awesome and His Redemption is amazing. God has done it all and done it well, and we have done nothing. Every good thing comes from God; even every good work that we do, God did it. The problem enters when we take credit for something good. Sinners want to ascribe greatness to Self. We don’t want to believe that there is no good in us at all. All good is in God. We don’t want to admit that we are sinful, weak, dependent, and needy. But when we do, and ask for God’s help, He is there to forgive, restore, fix it, and do the great and good thing.

God did it all. Therefore, we ascribe greatness and goodness to God, and not to self. For anything that is good in your life, and for any good in you, ascribe it to God. Thank God in everything. Always.
