“For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. 18 He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. 19 So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt. 20 You must fear the Lord your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone. 21 He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen with your own eyes. 22 When your ancestors went down into Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky!” Deuteronomy 10:17-22 NLT
God of Gods and Lord of Lords,
Your Son, Jesus spoke these words in the sermon on the mount, “Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished. ” (Matthew 5:17,18). When we read Moses, Your prophets words, we see truth mirrored exactly. You are eternally God of Gods, Lord of Lords. You show no partiality and cannot be bribed. You love each one of us. And just as Your people Israel could come freely and ask and receive from You now we can because of Jesus.
Now and again I need reminding that You have not changed God. You are not like an earthly parent who can be cajoled or persuaded to do what I want to make me happy. You God have not changed. You still cannot tolerate sin and will only do what is right and according to Your plan. It is Jesus that removes the punishment of sin and who enables us to freely approach You to ask for our needs in prayer.
It is good to remember also because it reminds me You are an awesome, almighty, all powerful, larger than the universe, bigger than my imagination, the one and only God of all. And I can know You and receive Your love – because of Jesus. I will bow my knee, my heart and my will and worship You.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Surely our God is the God of gods
And the Lord of kings
The revealer of mysteries
Surely our God is the God of gods
And the Lord of kings
He changes the times and the seasons
He gives rhythm to the tides
He knows what is hidden
In the darkest of places
Brings the shadows in to His light
Chorus
I will praise You always my Father
You are Lord of heaven and earth
You hide Your secrets
From the wise and the learned
And reveal them to this Your child
Chorus
Thank You for sending Your only Son
We may know the mystery of God –
He opens the treasures
Of wisdom and knowledge
To the humble not to the proud
Lyrics: David L and Liz Morris
