Holy are You, Lord God Almighty! You alone are worthy to receive glory and honor and power; for You have created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created. You are our Rock, our refuge, our shelter in times of storm. We stand in awe and wonder before You. There is no one nor is there anything that can compare with You. Before You all else pales into insignificance.
We can choose to have a Bible in unread, pristine condition, an ornament just as any other ornaments we use to decorate our homes, even while our lives are in shambles or, we can have a used, frayed Bible, one that has been opened, read, and studied, which results in lives well ordered by You. Lord, the Bible is, or should be, our constant companion. It lights the way for our present life, and it opens the gates of Heaven to reveal our future. It guides our hearts and our minds to the right way of thinking. We pray that we would be faithful students of Your Word.
We stand before You, Lord, in complete surrender, offering our hearts completely to You. We thank You for Your merciful grace that saves and forgives us even though we are far from ever being worthy. Our hearts filled with gratitude, we love You, Lord, with every fiber of our being. We worship You, Lord, with our whole heart. We adore You, Lord, with all that is within us as we bless Your holy name.
To You who sits on the throne, be blessing, and honor, and glory, and power forever and ever.
