Lord God, I praise you for your majestic and glorious character. You are full of wisdom and understanding. You never panic, never worry, never are restless or fearful.

You are perfect, meaning you are always, gloriously the same: stable, faithful, unwavering, immutable, without error, failure or misstep. You are absolutely trustable. In your perfection you are perfectly good, completely loving, totally gracious, fully righteous and unceasingly wise. You can never get better and will never be less.

In you lies the stability I need in this warped world where my inner and outer situation is constantly fluctuating: unexpected events flood my day, triggering emotional highs and lows that swing me back and forth. But you are my stability, my rock, my fortress, my stronghold. My soul finds rest in you alone.

You, O Triune God, are the Great One, living far above the tiny collection of atoms we call home.  As Isaiah wrote: “Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket, they are regarded as dust on the scales” (Isa. 40:15). The billions of people on earth, to us a mighty throng, are to you a miniscule, insignificant speck: one drop, hardly noticeable. You are so much greater than all the people who have ever lived and you are involved in much bigger things, like the birth and death of stars, yet you love and care for each insignificant, tiny person.

“[He] weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.” All the islands of the world are miniscule before you, Lord, easily blown away by a breath. You, in contrast, are massive, monumental, majestic, immovable and mighty. You are eternal and everlasting, the opposite of the temporary, tiny and tentative islands of the earth.

You are amazing, marvelous, majestic and mighty. To you belongs all glory and exaltation.
