Majestic

As Jesus taught His disciples, our prayers begin "our Father" so they are not self-centered but God-centered and so we remember "God so loved the world…"

Then, our prayers continue with "hallowed be Your name," so we remember there is no one else like our Father. He is above all.

"Our Father, hallowed be Your name," so we remember how BIG He is. He is bigger than anything in life. He is Majestic!

At our recent Moms in Prayer International Festival of Joy celebrating 30 years of answered prayer, I was struck by the majesty of our Father God. Prior to the main festival, state and regional leadership met for a getaway on the 37^th floor—in the Majestic Rooms—of the Dallas Sheraton. From my room on the 34^th floor, I looked down on a few story building, probably an old theater, with "Majestic" boldly painted across its front façade.

And then, we sang, "Majesty." Here are the words (simplified):

We're singing Majesty, Majesty

Your grace, Your grace has found me just as I am

Empty handed but alive in Your hands

We're singing Majesty, we're singing Majesty

Forever I am changed by Your love

In the presence of Your Majesty, Majesty

We praise You, oh God, lift up a new song

Oh we praise You, Lord, We praise Your name

You are the Father, You are the Father

Oh, we love You, we love You, we love You, oh oh

Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Michael W. Smith

Majesty is defined as impressive stateliness, dignity, beauty, royal power or greatness in the supreme. We often use it in reference to reigning sovereigns. Our Father is King over all the earth (Psalm 47:7), which makes Him King over any king, emperor, president, prime minister—any sovereign.

The Eternal reigns, clothed in majesty; He is dressed in power; He has surrounded Himself with strength. He has established the world, and it will never be toppled.

Psalm 93:1 (Voice)

Our Father, we come before You in praise to tell You and all who will hear of the glorious splendor of Your majesty. You are Majestic. We choose to meditate and contemplate on Your miracles, Your wondrous works.  We confess—there is nothing greater than You, nothing mightier than Your awesome works. We will tell of Your greatness as long as we have breath. We stand in awe of You. Praise You Father!

Your majesty and glorious splendor have captivated me;

I will meditate on Your wonders, sing songs of Your worth.

Psalm 145:5 (VOICE)
