Psalm 96:7-9 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
The Lord is great. The Lord is good. And He is an extremely generous giver. In Christ, God has richly blessed us with all good things, including forgiveness, life and salvation. In response, we receive with thanks, believe with strength, and give all glory, praise, honor, credit, worth, and all of ourself to the Lord.
All of our life and our relationship with God can be defined and described as receiving and giving. “Freely ye have received, freely give,” says Jesus. We spend our lives, our thoughts, our words, our actions in giving glory to God. Everything we say and do gives glory to the Lord. Even if we would give God everything we can it would still never match up to what He has given us. The riches of His glory in Christ Jesus are so great.
We worship in the beauty of holiness by faith in Jesus’ righteousness, even though we are incapable of even imagining how beautiful God’s holiness really is.
