The source of greatness

Uni-verse 206/10,000 For Better through verse 2 Chronicles 1 v 1
2Ch 1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.

The Lord desires to strengthen us in our area of influence, our domain of experience and expertise. His Presence is with us and that alone is sufficient to magnify or enhance our vision, efforts and impact.

God’s Presence in us, with us and for us is sufficient to make us exceedingly great for He is the Great I Am. Our greatness in Him will exceed all expectations, our own and that of others. We need to expect great things from God, attempt great things for Him and accept greatness as a gift from Him. A life of faith is a call to greatness.

Greatness is an attitude and ability to overcome the limitations of one’s being, the constraints imposed by the totality of our circumstances. An athlete who leverages on his natural physical strength to accomplish what is ordinarily considered difficult is a competent athlete but not a great one. But, the one who exerts himself to overcome a setback, a challenge in order to accomplish what was deemed to be beyond his reach is a great athlete. Greatness is a grace gifted to us by our great God for He knows our human frailties and constraints but desires us to be like Him.

Prateep V Philip
