Acknowledge God’s Incontestable Sovereignty and Irresistible Power

Adoration 1.6 | NASB

That His sovereignty is incontestable, and He is the owner and absolute Lord of all.

The heavens are Your heavens, Psalm 115:16(NASB) and all their hosts. The earth is Yours, and all it contains; the world, and those who dwell in it. Psalm 24:1(NASB) In Your hand are the depths of the earth, and the peaks of the mountains are Yours also. The sea is Yours, for it was You who made it, and Your hands formed the dry land: Psalm 95:4-5(NASB) Every beast of the forest is Yours, the cattle on a thousand hills. Psalm 50:10(NASB) You are therefore a great God and a great King above all gods. Psalm 95:3(NASB)

In Your hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:10(NASB)

Your dominion is an everlasting dominion, and Your kingdom endures from generation to generation: You do according to Your will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off Your hand or say to You, “What have You done?” Daniel 4:34-35(NASB) or “Why are You doing that?”

That His power is irresistible, and the operations of it cannot be controlled.

I know, O God, that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. Job 42:2(NASB) Power belongs to You; Psalm 62:11(NASB) and with You nothing is impossible. Luke 1:37(NASB)

All authority is Yours, both in heaven and on earth. Matthew 28:18(NASB)

You put to death and give life; You have wounded, and it is You who heal, and there is no one who can deliver from Your hand. Deuteronomy 32:39(NASB)

What You have promised, You are able also to perform. Romans 4:21(NASB)

Recognize God’s Perfect Knowledge and Unsearchable Wisdom

Adoration 1.5 | NASB

That He has a perfect knowledge of all persons and things, and sees them all, even that which is most secret, at one clear, certain, and unerring view.

All things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom I have to do, even the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Hebrews 4:12-13(NASB)

Your eyes are in every place, watching the evil and the good: Proverbs 15:3(NASB) They move to and fro throughout the earth that You may strongly support those whose hearts are completely Yours. 2 Chronicles 16:9(NASB)

You search the heart and test the mind, so that You may give to each man according to his ways, according to the results of his deeds. Jeremiah 17:10(NASB)

O God, You have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You understand my thoughts from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down, and are intimately acquainted with all my ways: Even before there is a word on my tongue, behold, O LORD, You know it all. Psalm 139:1-4(NASB) Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot attain to it. Psalm 139:6(NASB)

Darkness and light are alike to You. Psalm 139:12(NASB)

That His wisdom is unsearchable, and the counsels and designs of it cannot be fathomed.

Your understanding, O Lord, is infinite, for You count the number of the stars and give names to all of them. Psalm 147:4-5(NASB)

You have made Your counsel wonderful and Your wisdom great; Isaiah 28:29(NASB) You are wise in heart and mighty in strength. Job 9:4(NASB)

O LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; Psalm 104:24(NASB) all according to the counsel of Your will. Ephesians 1:11(NASB)

Oh, the depth of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! Romans 11:33 (NASB)

Acknowledge God’s Eternality and Omnipresence

Adoration 1.4 | NASB

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.

You are the King eternal, immortal, invisible. 1 Timothy 1:17(NASB)

Before the mountains were born or You gave birth to the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God; Psalm 90:2(NASB) the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8(NASB)

Of old You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but You endure; and all of them will wear out like a garment; like clothing You will change them and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will not come to an end. Psalm 102:25-27(NASB)

You, O God, do not change; therefore is it that I am not consumed. Malachi 3:6(NASB)

Are You not from everlasting, O LORD, my God, my Holy One? Habakkuk 1:12(NASB) The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, who does not become weary or tired; Your understanding is inscrutable. Isaiah 40:28(NASB)

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.

You are a God who is near and not a God far off; no man can hide himself in hiding places so that You do not see him, for You fill the heavens and the earth. Jeremiah 23:23-24(NASB)

You are not far from each one of us. Acts 17:27(NASB)

I cannot go anywhere from Your presence or flee from Your Spirit: If I ascend to heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, in the depths of the earth, behold, You are there; if I take the wings of the dawn and dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there Your hand will lead me, and Your right hand will lay hold of me, Psalm 139:7-10(NASB) for I cannot outrun You.
