How Majestic Is Your Name

April 11, 2016 Maggie Niemiec

If you've been following along on my Instagram, you probably saw that I spent the last nine days in the land of rolling green hills and shamrocks. Ireland's beauty blew me away. (Believe me, it took a lot of restraint to not post all of the 200-plus photos that I snapped.) 

My family and I traveled to the Motherland to visit relatives, so I knew most of my time there would be spent living like a local and I was pretty pumped for it. But the one site I simply had to see was the Cliffs of Moher. They've been on my bucket list long before this vacation even came about, and I knew I had to make it there before the trip ended. 

Our sweet cousins drove us to the Cliffs last week. I am still thinking of the place and looking at the photos in awe. The whole time standing at the Cliffs, I kept saying, "Wow." They're beautiful, awe-inspiring, wondrous, glorious, majestic, and untouched. Like a bit of heaven here on Earth. 

As my dad and I stood there, I said, "How can someone see this and not believe in God?" It's too unbelievable to have come from man's hands or some random act of science. How awesome that the God who created all of this is the very same One who loves me, who knows me, and who cares for me in the smallest of details? He created me, just as He created this vast ocean and these glorious cliffs. 

Rather than write a long blog post trying to come up with more adjectives for "beautiful," I'd rather leave you with the words of Psalm 8. A poetic love song for creation. Scripture just says it best, you know?

"Lord, our Lord, 

how majestic is your name in all the earth! 

You have set your glory

in the heavens. 

Through the praise of children and infants

you have established a stronghold against your enemies, 

to silence the foe and the avenger. 

When I consider your heavens, 

the work of your fingers, 

the moon and the stars, 

which you have set in place, 

what is mankind that you are mindful of them, 

human beings that you care for them? 

You have made them a little lower than the angels

and crowned them with glory and honor. 

You made them rulers over the works of your hands; 

you put everything under their feet:

all flocks and herds, 

and the animals of the wild, 

the birds in the sky,

and the fish in the sea, 

all that swim the paths of the seas.

Lord, our Lord, 

how majestic is your name in all the earth!"

Happy Easter! He is risen!
Six months ago, I had the honor of sharing my story on the Long Hollow Stories Podcast. Doing a 45-minute interview while being recorded? Gulp. But, friends, God is so faithful. He's authored my story in this unique way so that I would come to know Himβ€”and then share Him with other people! Because yes, I worked at a church and yes, I love talking about Jesus... But that's not how I always was. My story is messy. It's full of brokenness, pain, and deep hurt. I felt intense guilt and shame for a long time. Yet God still loved me. He died on the cross and rose again for ME, in all my brokenness. He took on the death that I deserve. Our sin nailed him to that crossβ€”yet He broke the power of sin and extends His great love to us! He bought us with a price and paid that debt that we never could. That's what we celebrate this Easter. That is what He did for YOU. Do you believe it? // Click the link in my profile to download the full podcast.
What does fear hold you back from? .

Fear holds me back from writing my blog. Fear cripples me and tells me I’m not enough. As Tim Keller says, β€œTo be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear.” In the world of followers and likes and instant gratification, I’m sure you can relate.

God fully knows us and fully loves us. There is no place for fear in His perfect love. (1 John 4:18) When we recognize we are fully known and loved in Christ, we can let go of our desire for more followers and more likes. You can surrender your prayer for a husband. You can loosen your grip on your career and your finances. You can quit playing the comparison game and rest easy in the arms of a Father who loves you more than you can imagine.

Happy as a clam 😍 He’s my favorite. #getzmetothealtar
