Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God...

... that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. (Hebrews 13:15)

All Creatures of Our God and King

Psalm 145:10-11
All Your works shall give thanks to You, O LORD,
And Your godly ones shall bless You.
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom
And talk of Your power;

Psalm 148:3
Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all stars of light!

Psalm 148:8-9
Fire and hail, snow and clouds;
Stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Mountains and all hills;
Fruit trees and all cedars;

Psalm 148:11-13
Kings of the earth and all peoples;
Princes and all judges of the earth;
Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.
Let them praise the name of the LORD,
For His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above earth and heaven.

King Of Kings

Acts 2:24-28
"But God raised Him up again,
putting an end to the agony of death,
since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.
For David says of Him,
‘I saw the Lord always in my presence;
For He is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken.
‘Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue exulted;
Moreover my flesh also will live in hope;
Because You will not abandon my soul to Hades,
Nor allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.
‘You have made known to me the ways of life;
You will make me full of gladness with Your presence.’"

Indescribable

Job 38:22
“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,"

Job 38:35
“Can you send forth lightnings that they may go
And say to you, ‘Here we are’?"

Isaiah 40:21-23
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
He it is who reduces rulers to nothing,
Who makes the judges of the earth meaningless.

Romans 1:20-23
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes,
His eternal power and divine nature,
have been clearly seen, being understood
through what has been made,
so that they are without excuse.
For even though they knew God,
they did not honour Him as God or give thanks,
but they became futile in their speculations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God
for an image in the form of corruptible man and
of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.

Firm Foundation (He Won't)

Hebrews 3:4
For every house is built by someone,
but the builder of all things is God.

2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands,
having this seal,
“The Lord knows those who are His,”
and,
“Everyone who names the name of the Lord
is to abstain from wickedness.”

2 Timothy 2:13
If we are faithless, He remains faithful,
for He cannot deny Himself.

2 Thessalonians 3:3
But the Lord is faithful,
and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one.

Faithful

Lamentations 3:22-23
The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease,
For His compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

1 Chronicles 16:25-33
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
He also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
But the LORD made the heavens.
Splendour and majesty are before Him,
Strength and joy are in His place.
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array.
Tremble before Him, all the earth;
Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
And let them say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”
Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD;
For He is coming to judge the earth.
