                    Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness.

Psalm 36:5-6

                    your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.

          a God feared in the council of the holy ones,

                    great and awesome above all that are around him?

          O Lord God of hosts,

                    who is as mighty as you, O Lord?

Praise God for What God Has Done

Psalm 148 (Creator)

          Praise the Lord!

          Praise the Lord from the heavens;

                    praise him in the heights!

          Praise him, all his angels;

                    praise him, all his host!

          Praise him, sun and moon;

                    praise him, all you shining stars!

          Praise him, you highest heavens,

                    and you waters above the heavens!

          Let them praise the name of the Lord,

                    for he commanded and they were created.

          He established them forever and ever;

                    he fixed their bounds, which cannot be passed.

          Praise the Lord from the earth,

                    you sea monsters and all deeps,

          fire and hail, snow and frost,

                    stormy wind fulfilling his command!

          Mountains and all hills,

                    fruit trees and all cedars!

          Wild animals and all cattle,

                    creeping things and flying birds!

          Kings of the earth and all peoples,

                    princes and all rulers of the earth!

          Young men and women alike,

                    old and young together!

          Let them praise the name of the Lord,

                    for his name alone is exalted;

                    his glory is above earth and heaven.

          He has raised up a horn for his people,

                    praise for all his faithful,

                    for the people of Israel who are close to him.

          Praise the Lord!

John 3:16

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.

Gal. 1:3-5 (Set Us Free Through Christ Jesus)

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to set us free from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be the glory forever and ever.  Amen.

Ephesians 1:3-4 (Every Spiritual Blessing)

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love.

1Cor. 15:57 (Victory From God Through Christ Jesus)

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 9:15 (Paul Refers to God’s Gift of Grace in Christ Jesus & Writes,)

“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”

Praise God for What God Is Doing

Psa 103:1-5, 8-13 (Redeems and Forgives)

          Bless the Lord, O my soul,

                    and all that is within me,

                    bless his holy name.

          Bless the Lord, O my soul,

                    and do not forget all his benefits—

          who forgives all your iniquity,

                    who heals all your diseases,

          who redeems your life from the Pit,

                    who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

          who satisfies you with good as long as you live

                    so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

          The Lord is merciful and gracious,

                    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

          He will not always accuse,

                    nor will he keep his anger forever.

          He does not deal with us according to our sins,

                    nor repay us according to our iniquities.

          For as the heavens are high above the earth,

                    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

          as far as the east is from the west,

                    so far he removes our transgressions from us.

          As a father has compassion for his children,

                    so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.

          For he knows how we were made;

                    he remembers that we are dust.

1 John 1:7

. . . if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
