Address God with Reverence and Awe

Having thus engaged our hearts to approach unto God. Jeremiah 30:21(KJV)

 

We must solemnly address ourselves to that infinitely great and glorious Being with whom we have to do, as those that are possessed with a full belief of his presence and a holy awe and reverence of his Majesty, which we may do 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 our God, early will we seek thee; Psalm 63:1(KJV) our God, and we will praise thee; our fathers’ God, and we 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) The Lord our God, who is one Lord. Deuteronomy 6:4(KJV)

And may we thus distinguish ourselves 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; Isaiah 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 our 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)
