Reverently Adore God, Part 2

Adoration 1.3 | NASB

I must acknowledge His Being to be unquestionable and past dispute.

The heavens are telling of Your glory, O God, and their expanse is declaring the work of Your hands; Psalm 19:1(NASB) and Your eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen and understood through what has been made. Romans 1:19-20(NASB) So that they are fools without excuse who say, “There is no God”; Psalm 14:1(NASB) for surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth, Psalm 58:11(NASB) and in heaven too!

I therefore come to You believing that You are and that You are the powerful and bountiful rewarder of those who seek You. Hebrews 11:6(NASB)

Yet I must own His nature to be incomprehensible.

I cannot discover the depths of God; I cannot discover the limits of the Almighty. Job 11:7(NASB)

Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. Psalm 145:3(NASB)

Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the LORD? Or can show forth all His praise? Psalm 106:2(NASB)

And His perfections to be matchless and without compare.

Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? Exodus 15:11(NASB)

Who in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD? Psalm 89:6(NASB) O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. Psalm 89:8(NASB)

There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours. Psalm 86:8(NASB) For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. Psalm 86:10(NASB)

No creature has an arm like God, or can thunder with a voice like His. Job 40:9(NASB)

And that He is infinitely above us and all other beings.

You are God and not man; You do not have eyes of flesh, nor do You see as a man sees. Your days are not as the days of a mortal, nor your years as man’s years. Job 10:4-5(NASB)

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your thoughts higher than my thoughts, and Your ways than my ways. Isaiah 55:9(NASB)

All the nations before You are like a drop from the bucket, or a speck of dust on the scales; and You lift up the islands like fine dust; Isaiah 40:15(NASB) they are as nothing, and are regarded by You as less than nothing and meaningless. Isaiah 40:17(NASB)

Reverently Adore God, Part 2

Adoration 1.3 | ESV

I must acknowledge his Being to be unquestionable and past dispute.

The heavens declare your glory, O God, and the sky above proclaims your handiwork. Psalm 19:1(ESV) Your eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived in the things that have been made, Romans 1:19-20(ESV) so that they are fools without excuse who say, “There is no God.” Psalm 14:1(ESV) For surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth, Psalm 58:11(ESV) and in heaven too.

I therefore draw near to you believing that you exist and that you powerfully and bountifully reward those who diligently seek you. Hebrews 11:6(ESV)

Yet I must own his nature to be incomprehensible.

I cannot find out the deep things of God; I cannot find out the limit of the Almighty. Job 11:7(ESV)

Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. Psalm 145:3(ESV)

Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise? Psalm 106:2(ESV)

And his perfections to be matchless and without compare.

Who is a God like you, O LORD, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11(ESV)

Who in the skies can be compared to the LORD? Who among the heavenly beings is like the LORD? Psalm 89:6(ESV) O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as you are with your faithfulness all around you? Psalm 89:8(ESV)

There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. Psalm 86:8(ESV) For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Psalm 86:10(ESV)

No creature has an arm like God, or can thunder with a voice like his. Job 40:9(ESV)

And that he is infinitely above me and all other beings.

You are God and not man; you do not have eyes of flesh, nor do you see as man sees. Your days are not as the days of man, nor your years as a man’s years. Job 10:4-5(ESV)

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are your thoughts higher than my thoughts and your ways than my ways. Isaiah 55:9(ESV)

All nations before you are like a drop from a bucket, or the dust on the scales; and you take up the coastlands like fine dust; Isaiah 40:15(ESV) they are as nothing, and are accounted by you as less than nothing and emptiness. Isaiah 40:17(ESV)

Reverently Adore God, Part 1

Adoration 1.2 | KJV

I must reverently adore God, as a Being transcendently bright and blessed, self-existent and self-sufficient, an infinite and eternal Spirit that has all perfections in himself, and give him the glory of his titles and attributes.

O Lord my God, thou art very great, thou art clothed with honour and majesty, thou coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Psalm 104:1-2(KJV) and yet as to me makest darkness thy pavilion, Psalm 18:11(KJV) for I cannot order my speech by reason of darkness. Job 37:19(KJV)

This is the message which I have heard of thee, and I set to my seal that it is true: That God is light, and in him is no darkness at all; 1 John 1:5(KJV) and that God is love, and they that dwell in love, dwell in God and God in them. 1 John 4:16(KJV)

Thou art the Father of light, with whom is no variableness or shadow of turning, and from whom proceedeth every good and perfect gift. James 1:17(KJV)

Thou art the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who only hast immortality, dwelling in the light, which no man can approach unto, whom no man hath seen or can see. 1 Timothy 6:15-16(KJV)

O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering Yourself with light as with a cloak; Psalm 104:1-2(NASB) and yet to me you make darkness Your hiding place, Psalm 18:11(NASB) for I cannot arrange my case because of darkness. Job 37:19(NASB)

This is the message that I have heard from you, and I set my seal to it that it is true: God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all; 1 John 1:5(NASB) God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. 1 John 4:16(NASB)

You are the Father of light, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow, and from whom proceeds every good thing and every perfect gift. James 1:17(NASB)

Address God with Reverence and Awe

Adoration 1.1 | NIV

Having thus engaged my heart to approach God. Jeremiah 30:21(NIV)

I must solemnly address myself to that infinitely great and glorious Being with whom I have to do, as one who is possessed with a full belief of his presence and a holy awe and reverence of his Majesty, which may be done in such expressions as these:

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come! Revelation 4:8(NIV)

O you whose name is the LORD, who alone are the Most High over all the earth! Psalm 83:18(NIV)

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; Psalm 63:1(NIV) my God, and I will praise you; my father’s God, and I will exalt you. Exodus 15:2(NIV)

O you who are the true God, the living God, the one only living and true God, 1 Thessalonians 1:9(NIV) and the eternal King! Jeremiah 10:10(NIV) With your redeemed people I confess your great name: “The LORD our God, the LORD is one.” Deuteronomy 6:4(NIV)

And may I thus distinguish myself from the worshipers of false gods.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, they are vanity and a lie, made by the hands of men; Psalm 115:4(NIV) those who make them will be like them, and so will all who trust in them. Psalm 115:8(NIV) But he who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance; the LORD Almighty is his name, Jeremiah 10:16(NIV) God over all, forever praised. Romans 9:5(NIV)

Their rock is not like my Rock, as even your people’s enemies concede; Deuteronomy 32:31(NIV) for he is the Rock of ages, the LORD, the LORD is the Rock eternal: Isaiah 26:4(NIV) His name endures forever, and his renown through all generations, Psalm 135:13(NIV) when the gods, who did not make the heavens and the earth, will perish from the earth and from under the heavens. Jeremiah 10:11(NIV)

I must solemnly address myself to that infinitely great and glorious Being with whom I have to do, as one that is possessed with a full belief of his presence and a holy awe and reverence of his Majesty, which may be done in such expressions as these:

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come! Revelation 4:8(KJV)

O thou whose name alone is JEHOVAH, and who art the Most High over all the earth. Psalm 83:18(KJV)

O God, thou art my God, early will I seek thee; Psalm 63:1(KJV) my God, and I will praise thee; my father’s God, and I will exalt thee. Exodus 15:2(KJV)

O thou who art the true God, the living God, the one only living and true God, 1 Thessalonians 1:9(KJV) and the everlasting King! Jeremiah 10:10(KJV) With thy redeemed people I confess your great name: “The Lord our God, who is one Lord.” Deuteronomy 6:4(KJV)

And may I thus distinguish myself from the worshippers of false gods.

The idols of the heathens are silver and gold, they are vanity and a lie, the work of men’s hands; Psalm 115:4(KJV) they that make them are like unto them, and so is every one that trusteth in them. Psalm 115:8(KJV) But the Portion of Jacob is not like unto them, for he is the former of all things, and Israel is the rod of his inheritance; the Lord of hosts is his name, Jeremiah 10:16(KJV) God over all, blessed for evermore. Romans 9:5(KJV)

Their rock is not my Rock, even the enemies themselves being judges; Deuteronomy 32:31(KJV) for he is the Rock of ages, the Lord Jehovah, with whom is everlasting strength, Isaiah 26:4(KJV) whose name shall endure for ever and his memorial unto all generations, Psalm 135:13(KJV) when the gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, shall perish from off the earth and from under these heavens. Jeremiah 10:11(KJV)
