The Glory of God (cont)

This Glorious, most wonderful, most Supreme God is the only One worthy of all admiration, honor, delight, and worship in all of the universe He created.

Revelations 4:11

You are worthy, O Lord,

To receive glory and honor and power;

For You created all things,

And by Your will they exist[b] and were created.”

Psalm 96

Oh, sing to the Lord a new song!

Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

Sing to the Lord, bless His name;

Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

Declare His glory among the nations,

His wonders among all peoples.

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised;

He is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols,

But the Lord made the heavens.

Honor and majesty are before Him;

Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples,

Give to the Lord glory and strength.

Give to the Lord the glory due His name;

Bring an offering, and come into His courts.

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness!

Tremble before Him, all the earth.

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns;

The world also is firmly established,

It shall not be moved;

He shall judge the peoples righteously.”

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;

Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.

Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord.

For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.

He shall judge the world with righteousness,

And the peoples with His truth.

Psalm 37:4

Delight yourself also in the Lord,

And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalm 16:11

You will show me the path of life;

In Your presence is fullness of joy;

At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

The Glory of God (cont)

James 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights,                            with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

       (paraphrased NLT) 

Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all        

                the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

1 Chronicles 29:10-14

Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said:

        Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness,

The power and the glory,

The victory and the majesty;

For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;

Yours is the kingdom, O LORD,

And You are exalted as head over all.

Both riches and honor come from You,

And You reign over all.

In Your hand is power and might;

In Your hand it is to make great

And to give strength to all.

Now therefore, our God,

We thank You

And praise Your glorious name.

But who am I, and who are my people,

That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?

For all things come from You,

And of Your own we have given You.

Romans 11:33-36

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

For who has known the mind of the LORD?

Or who has become His counselor?

Or who has first given to Him

And it shall be repaid to him?

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.

Amen.

When I take time to ponder God and His glory I can only praise Him for all that I am, all that I have. It is only because of the goodness of God that I am who I am, and I have all that I have. 

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!

Serve the LORD with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.

Know that the LORD, He is God;

It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,

And into His courts with praise.

Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.

For the LORD is good;

His mercy is everlasting,

And His truth endures to all generations.

-David Psalm 100
