Acknowledge God’s Eternality and Omnipresence

Adoration 1.4 | KJV

Particularly in my adorations I must acknowledge:

That he is an eternal God, immutable, without beginning of days or end of life or change of time.

Thou art the King eternal, immortal, invisible. 1 Timothy 1:17(KJV)

Art thou not from everlasting, O Lord my God, my Holy One? Habakkuk 1:12(KJV) The everlasting God, even the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, who faintest not, neither art weary; there is no searching out of thine understanding. Isaiah 40:28(KJV)

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting thou art God; Psalm 90:2(KJV) the same yesterday, today, and for ever. Hebrews 13:8(KJV)

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of thy hands: they shall perish, but thou shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment, as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end. Psalm 102:25-27(KJV)

Thou art God and changest not; therefore is it that I am not consumed. Malachi 3:6(KJV)

That he is present in all places, and there is no place in which he is not included or out of which he is excluded.

Thou art a God at hand and not a God afar off; none can hide himself in secret places that thou canst not see him, for thou fillest heaven and earth. Jeremiah 23:23-24(KJV)

Thou art not far from every one of us. Acts 17:27(KJV)

I cannot go any whither from thy presence or fly from thy Spirit: If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, in the depths of the earth, behold thou art there; if I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me, Psalm 139:7-10(KJV) for I cannot outrun thee.

Reverently Adore God, Part 2

Adoration 1.3 | KJV

I must acknowledge his Being to be unquestionable and past dispute.

The heavens declare thy glory, O God, and the firmament sheweth thy handy-work, Psalm 19:1(KJV) and by the things that are made is clearly seen and understood thine eternal power and Godhead. Romans 1:19-20(KJV) So that they are fools without excuse who say, There is no God; Psalm 14:1(KJV) for verily there is a reward for the righteous, verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth, Psalm 58:11(KJV) and in heaven too.

I therefore come to thee believing that thou art and that thou art the powerful and bountiful rewarder of them that diligently seek thee. Hebrews 11:6(KJV)

Yet I must understand and own his nature to be incomprehensible.

I cannot by searching find out God, I cannot find out the Almighty unto perfection. Job 11:7(KJV)

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable. Psalm 145:3(KJV)

Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can shew forth all his praise? Psalm 106:2(KJV)

And his perfections to be matchless and without compare.

Who is a God like unto thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? Exodus 15:11(KJV)

Who in the heaven can be compared unto the Lord? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord? Psalm 89:6(KJV) O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto thee, or to thy faithfulness round about thee? Psalm 89:8(KJV)

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord, neither are there any works like unto thy works. Psalm 86:8(KJV) For thou art great and doest wondrous things; thou art God alone. Psalm 86:10(KJV)

There is not any creature that has an arm like God, or can thunder with a voice like him. Job 40:9(KJV)

 

And that he is infinitely above me and all other beings.

Thou art God and not man; hast not eyes of flesh, nor seest thou as man seeth. Thy days are not as the days of man, nor thy years as man’s days. Job 10:4-5(KJV)

As heaven is high above the earth, so are thy thoughts above my thoughts, and thy ways above my ways. Isaiah 55:9(KJV)

All nations before thee are as a drop of the bucket, or the small dust of the balance; and thou takest up the isles as a very little thing; Isaiah 40:15(KJV) they are as nothing, and are counted to thee as less than nothing and vanity. Isaiah 40:17(KJV)

Reverently Adore God, Part 1

Adoration 1.2 | KJV

I must reverently adore God, as a Being transcendently bright and blessed, self-existent and self-sufficient, an infinite and eternal Spirit that has all perfections in himself, and give him the glory of his titles and attributes.

O Lord my God, thou art very great, thou art clothed with honour and majesty, thou coverest thyself with light as with a garment; Psalm 104:1-2(KJV) and yet as to me makest darkness thy pavilion, Psalm 18:11(KJV) for I cannot order my speech by reason of darkness. Job 37:19(KJV)

This is the message which I have heard of thee, and I set to my seal that it is true: That God is light, and in him is no darkness at all; 1 John 1:5(KJV) and that God is love, and they that dwell in love, dwell in God and God in them. 1 John 4:16(KJV)

Thou art the Father of light, with whom is no variableness or shadow of turning, and from whom proceedeth every good and perfect gift. James 1:17(KJV)

Thou art the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who only hast immortality, dwelling in the light, which no man can approach unto, whom no man hath seen or can see. 1 Timothy 6:15-16(KJV)
