So here is the great God. This is the one whom we recognize. And you see, friends, so often it is today that we have God on the same level as we are.
And I have winced and shuddered sometimes as I have heard people speak of God and speak to God in a very ordinary way, in a way which is deprecating to the greatness of God. We have got to realize that we are of this earth, earthy, and God is in heaven. God is glorious.
God is great. God is great. That's a wonderful, wonderful concept.
He is on his throne in heaven. And that's the first realization that we must come to, to recognize that the heavens contain God, God who made all these, who created all these things. God is great.
And we are here on earth. This is the potentate.
