The Greatness and Grace of God – Mark L. Bailey
By Dallas Theological Seminary (32 min 22 sec)
“I will extol You, my God, O King, and I will bless Your
name forever and ever. Every day I will
bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord, and highly to be praised,
and His greatness is unsearchable.
“One generation shall praise Your works to another and
shall declare Your mighty acts. On the
glorious splendour of Your majesty and on Your wonderful works, I will
meditate. Men shall speak of the power
of Your awesome acts, and I will tell of Your greatness. They shall eagerly utter the memory of Your
abundant goodness and will shout joyfully of Your righteousness.
“The Lord is gracious and merciful’ slow to anger and
great in lovingkindness. The Lord is
good to all, and His mercies are over all His works.” Psalm 145:1-9
