Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all. — 1 Chronicles 29:11

Praise is a direct speech to God in which we express our appreciation for who he is, what he has done, and what he is doing. But praise is more than informing God of his grandeur; it is delighting before him in his magnificence and understanding that not only is his grace without comparison, but so are his majesty, might, holiness, faithfulness, righteousness, mercy, love, forgiveness, justice, and… God is God, and praise is a grateful celebration of his being God, and, more significantly, our God.

Prayer

Great and kind God, no one else can compare to you. You deserve my best words, best thoughts, and best ideas. I not only worship you and submit to you, but I also rejoice that you are who you are, I celebrate what you have done, and I long for what you will do. My Father and God, you are wonderful. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
