I can only agree with Psalm 145:3: Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.
There is nothing or no one who could come up with an argument to disclaim or deny this verse.
If your breath, God is great.
If you have food to eat, well, God is great.
If you have a roof over your head, even better for God is great.
If you don't have everything you want, well, God is still great and there is reason for everything.
Now, once we recognize how great He is, we should want to praise and worship Him for all He's done and this little devotional helps put it all together and gives you a start on the subject matter. Hopefully you will agree.
God Bless.

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable
- Psalm 145:3
God is great. In fact, he is so great that he deserves our praise. In fact, he deserves praise in proportion to his greatness -- because he is so great, he is greatly to be praised.
How great is God? How much and how long is it appropriate for us to continue applauding him? Does he deserve a half-hearted smattering of acclaim, or a standing ovation? How long should we stand and applaud?
Can we quit clapping yet?
The psalmist says, "His greatness is unsearchable!" There is no end to his greatness and so there is to be no end to our ovation.
Does this sound like a long and dull and unfair obligation, or a joyful and fulfilling and wonderful pleasure? If you lean strongly toward the first description, then it means you have lost sight of just how great God is.
When you see how beautiful, how stupendous -- how unspeakably august and loving and just and mighty -- God is, then unending soul-praise is our inevitable response. Like having your breath taken away by a sunset at sea...or clapping till your hands hurt at the end of an unbelievable stage performance.
Praising God is like that only, the psalmist reminds us, infinitely more and better. Because his greatness is unsearchable: this sunset never ends, this performance goes on forever.
Unsearchably great is the Lord, and so he is unendingly and greatly to be praised. Let the joyful applause begin.
