The Greatest Is the Nearest

While God’s transcendence is amazing, His immanence is astonishing. The most surprising thing about our exalted God is how close He comes to ones like us.

• The transcendence of God means that He greatly surpasses our human worth and experience.
• The immanence of God means that he is intimately close to us.

He Deserves Our Worship (God Is Transcendent) [Ps. 113:1-3]

• God doesn’t command us to worship because something is lacking in Him, but because something is lacking in us.
• To give God glory is for your soul’s good.
• There’s not a single moment of the day in which God does not deserve our worship.

We Don’t Deserve His Attention (God Is Immanent) [Ps. 113:4-9]

• God’s authority is not confined by geographical lines or religious affiliations.
• God must humble Himself to behold that which causes me to stand in awe.
• God resides in the place where I need Him the most.
• The most important Being in the universe holds the most important things in your life as important to Him.
