#280: "Greatness of Our God" by Newsboys United

More Than a Song - Discovering the Truth of Scripture Hidden in Today's Popular Christian Music

It's time. It's time to get a little excited about how great God really is. Strike up the band (or at least Newsboys United's song "Greatness of Our God") and turn to Psalm 150, because it's time to acknowledge the greatness of our God.

Do you keep a record of the mighty works of God?

This Week's Challenge

Spend some time in Psalm 150 this week. You may be tempted to read it once and move on, but I really want you to spend some time there. Write out your own list of mighty works of God. Focus on the greatness of our God. Consider the who, what, and where of praising God we find in this psalm. And by all means, spend some time praising the Lord this week.
