Praise Worthy

Hi! Today we are looking at a few more reasons God is worthy of praise according to the Scriptures:

1 Chronicles 16:25

King James Version (KJV) ²⁵For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.

Psalm 145:3

King James Version (KJV) ³Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.  WE PRAISE HIM FOR HIS GREATNESS!       Psalms 21:¹³Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.  WE PRAISE HIM FOR HIS POWER!    Isaiah 25:¹O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.  WE CAN PRAISE HIM BECAUSE OF HIS FAITHFULNESS AN TRUTH!

WHY PRAISE?

 

WE praise God for his great blessings all about us and for who He is, was and ever will be, the beginning and the end. Let’s look at a couple of reasons why He deserves our praise according to the Scriptures.

Exodus 15:  James Version (KJV)¹¹Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?

Isaiah 6:3  James Version (KJV) ³And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. We praise Him because He is the  Holiest!

Daniel 2:20 King James Version (KJV)²⁰Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:

Jude 1:25 King James Version (KJV)²⁵To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.  We praise Him for His wisdom, glory and power that endures forever!

PRAISE HIM!

God is worthy of our praise because of:

His Majesty—-

Psalm 96¹O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Psalm 96:6⁶Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.   Isa.24:¹⁴They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

His Glory!—Psa.138:¹⁴They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

Ezekiel 3:12¹²Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.

Orphans

The other day, I went for a drive with my wife into the city, and on our way we saw a big doe lying dead on the side of the road and off in the field stood two young deer looking back for  mamma, o what a pity. Yes, by the striking of a car, this happy family became sad and as I viewed these orphans  the tears came to my eyes as I imagined these orphans cries. There are so many sad stories about orphans and their need to find good homes. One day we were orphans lost in sin without a home, then God, our heavenly Father through His grace and great love sent to us His Son from above to bare our sins on that old tree and from orphans to set us free. Oh, what a gift for you and me!

Worthy!

Hi my friends, as I sit looking out my window at the new fall of snow and the baby blue sky I am thankful to the one who is worthy of that thanks and praise. In the next little while on this blog we will see what God’s word says about praise.

2 Samuel 22:4

King James Version (KJV)    ⁴I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.    THE LORD IS WORTHY OF OUR PRAISE!

Psalm 22:23

King James Version (KJV)      ²³Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.

Psalm 50:23

King James Version (KJV)    ²³Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God.    PRAISE GLORIFIES GOD!

Hebrews 13:15

King James Version (KJV)     ¹⁵By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.    WE CAN ENTER THE  COURTS OF HIS PRAISE THROUGH CHRIST!

To God be the Glory!

In the church sometimes in our service we want some of the glory and not give God all the glory. I am sharing the following Scripture verses and a few words from a great hymn that tell us ” To God be the Glory!”   Eph 3:²⁰Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,²¹Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.  1 Peter 5: ¹⁰But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.  ¹¹To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.        ” Thanksgiving, and glory, and worship, and blessing, and love, one heart and one song have the saints upon earth and above, O Lord, evermore to thy servants thy presence be nigh; ever fit our service on earth for our service on high.”  taken from the hymn ” Glory to Glory Advancing”.

The Church

Hi my friends! Today we are looking at more teaching about the church as recorded in the Bible. Romans 7:4-6;  Ephesians 5:24 tell us that this great body of believers is subject to Christ; He is to be given all honor and all glory for the work He has done. Ephesians 3:¹⁰To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God.

Colossians 3: ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.  We the church should continually be in the attitude of prayer and praise, letting our little lights shine so people can see the glorious light of Jesus!
