The glory of God · Creation and sovereignty
This song praises the God who created heaven and earth, acknowledging his power and wonderful works. The setting of Jeremiah 32 is a besieged city and a discouraging outlook, yet the prophet still buys a field as the Lord commands and prays to him. The power of creation and faithfulness to the covenant are thus connected, giving hope for future restoration. As we sing this song, we can entrust what exceeds our abilities to the Lord while seeking to understand his will. Trust in the Almighty makes us willing to obey amid our limits and questions, wait for him to fulfil his promises in his wisdom and respond to his authority with reverence.
Praise at calls to worship, gatherings on trust and communal prayer amid difficult circumstances.
