“He is your praise, and He is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things which your eyes have seen.” (Deuteronomy 10:21)
God is great and greatly to be praised! God is the source, substance, and sum of our praise. We praise Him for Who He is.
We know this great God personally, for He is “your God.” Often we think of those who are great as being detached from all those who are lesser—and that is how humans generally act—but, not God. He is never aloof! Instead He is actively working on our behalf.
He does great and awesome things, for He is great! This certainly means that He responds to our cries for help, but more—even before we cry He is at work accomplishing His will for our good and His glory.
We need to see and testify of His activity. The world needs to know of His wonderworking power—so sinners will have saving faith and saints will have strengthened faith. Heb.11:6 tells us this is the secret to pleasing God. I want to please Him, so I am going to praise Him!
