bow down before his holy mountain;
holy is the LORD, our God. (Psalm 99:9 NABRE)
Today's verse reminds us that God's greatness is to be respected.
Just for this minute consider how worthy he alone is of our praise. No person can claim to be eternal, having been before all that is. No one can claim to know all things. No one can claim to be everywhere at all times. Such thoughts are absurd, yet God is all of these things. We describe him as being omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. Today's verse refers to his omnipotence, his unlimited power and authority, and we are told to hold him in highest regard, to speak well of him, and to be humble before him.
Today, I will speak well of our God and remind myself that it is only through his power that I am able to do what he expects of me.
Saint John Vianney, patron of parish priests, pray for us.
