Excessively Wonderful

I love to worship the Lord! Not worship because of things that He has done, although those are many, but worship just because of Who He is!

One defintion in Merriam-Webster is excessive admiration for someone.

Excessive – our God is excessive. He didn’t just create 5 colors and quit – He was excessive. He didn’t just create 6 fish or 7 fruit or 8 vegetables. He created millions of stars, countless galaxies, hundreds of millions of people with individual fingerprints and unique DNA.

Excessive!

He gave us His Son who willingly paid the price for the sins of the whole world.

Excessive!

“My Lord, there is no God like you. No one can do what you have done. 9 My Lord, you made everyone. I wish they all would come worship you and honor your name.

10 You are great and do amazing things. You and you alone are God.

11 Lord, teach me your ways,
and I will live and obey your truths.
Help me make worshiping your name
the most important thing in my life.

12 My Lord God, I praise you with all my heart. I will honor your name forever!

13 You have such great love for me.
You save me from the place of death.

14 Proud people are attacking me, God.
A gang of cruel men is trying to kill me.
They don’t respect you.

15 My Lord, you are a kind and merciful God.
You are patient, loyal, and full of love.” Psalm 86: 8-15 ERV

Will you join me this morning in worship? Let’s show some excessive admiration and love to the One, the Only, Father God, creator of heaven and earth!

Just a Reminder

Sometimes we get caught up in the day-to-day, forgetting (momentarily) who our Father is. So, let’s start the day with a reminder.

I love starting each morning just praising God!!! And all the people said AMEN!

“Let the whole world sing to the Lord! Tell the good news every day about how he saves us. 24 Tell all the nations how wonderful he is! Tell people everywhere about the amazing things he does. 25 The Lord is great and worthy of praise. He is more awesome than any of the “gods.”

26 All the “gods” in other nations are nothing but statues, but the Lord made the heavens! 27 He lives in the presence of glory and honor. His Temple is a place of power and joy. 28 Praise the Lord, all people of every nation; praise the Lord’s glory and power! 29 Give the Lord praise worthy of his glory. Come into his presence with your offerings. Worship the Lord in all his holy beauty.

30 Everyone on earth should tremble before him! But the world stands firm and cannot be moved. 31 Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be happy! Let people everywhere say, ‘The Lord rules!’

32 Let the sea and everything in it shout for joy! Let the fields and everything in them be happy! 33 The trees of the forest will sing for joy when they see the Lord, because he is coming to rule the world. 34 Give thanks to the Lord because he is good. His faithful love will last forever.

35 Say to him, ‘Save us, God our Savior. Bring us back together, and save us from the other nations. Then we will give thanks to your holy name and joyfully praise you.’ 36 Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! He always was and will always be worthy of praise!

All the people praised the Lord and said “Amen!” I Chronicles 16:23-36 ERV

Now, will you all please say with me “He always was and will always be worthy of praise. Amen!”
