Clothed in Majesty

Terry DashnerFaith Fellowship Church of Broken Arrow, OK 74013

Have you contemplated the beauty of God's majesty lately? Have you heard Him speak lately?

Did you know that God has several blankets with which He cloaks Himself? His coverings are expansive, vast, and immeasurable. His majesty is beautiful and certainly beyond mortal words of explanation. So, it's best to just stand in awe while we consider Him.

The Lord God covers Himself in three majestic hues—black, gray, and blue. He chooses His wardrobe of blue by day. He desires black by night, and woolen gray during the stormy days. He is majestic in His appearance with His wardrobe of many colors.

In Psalms 93:1 it says, The lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. (NASB)

In Psalms 97:2 it says, Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. (NASB)

Why do we consider His majestic covering? His majestic ...
... covering accentuates His Glory. To be heard, a voice must be amplified. To make her statement in art, an artist must use the bold strokes of her brush. To be seen in the midst of gross darkness, light must be greater still. God's majesty intensifies His glory. Intensity defines our God!

His name in the Old Testament is Elohim. Consider this. The verb in the name construction is singular, but the noun is plural. How can that be? Our God is one God. He stands alone, and no other god stands above Him; however, He is many—not many in number. He is many. He is much in intensity. His majesty is like the sound of many voices upon the skip of the waters. Can you hear this? He is abounding, excessive, exceedingly, and more than enough in His manifested majesty.

If we consider God in our prayer closets only, we might fail to grasp His glorious majesty. That's why He created and uses the heavens to declare or speak on His behalf. To consider the intensity of His glory, go outdoors and peer into the heavens. Go to the Grand Canyon and send your voice echoing across the expanse of His beauty. Can you hear this?

Why do we consider His majestic covering? His majestic covering accentuates His extravagance. Jesus attended a wedding celebration in Cana of Galilee and performed His first miracle. He turned water into wine. That is awe inspiring, to say the least, but that's not all there is. The miracle is intensified when we consider His extravagance. He didn't just give them wine for a refill. He gave them more wine than they could drink in one sitting. God is intense. He always goes the second mile and beyond with His people. Yes what you ask for in prayer, you will receive in extravagance!

Can you hear this message? God reigns. His majesty is His covering of sky, starlight night, and even the gray clouds of rainy days. He is forever to be praised and magnified for His glory's sake. See Him. Feel Him. Be consumed in His fire. You and I belong in His consuming fire. He's speaking today from the voice of His creation. Wow! What a beautiful sound. Can you hear Him?

Keep the faith. Stay the course. Enjoy the fight. It's the good fight of faith. Blessed we are.

Love and hugs—Pastor T.
