The Greatest


There are many people we look up to today for what they have invented, for the songs they sing, and for many things they have accomplished. So many names are proudly talked about, praised and mentioned over and over because we are in awe of what they have done. While it is good to encourage each other, it is sad to see that our admiration settles on people and we forget about the greatest and biggest name of all: God.

He made the mountains. He invented the manner in which the earth spins and floats in space. He came up with the concept of life and existence. What inventor or entrepreneur can compare? How does anyone famous, successful or rich, on this planet compare to an all knowing, all creating, all powerful, and all present God?

Sometimes we may not want to praise God. We don't understand the purpose. Yet, we naturally admire and respect our role models in this world. Why? We know what they have done and we find things about them that we can relate to. Therefore, if we decided to get to know God and truly stop and see all that he has done, we will find he is the most incredible and relatable one there is. He made everything we know and loves me and you more personally than anyone else could. Once this recognition has been made, we will naturally praise him and admire him above all.
