Own your Relation to God

Adoration 1.13 | NASB

I must declare this God to be my God and his own my relation to Him, His dominion over me, and propriety in me.

My soul has said to the LORD, “You are my God; I have no good besides You; Psalm 16:2(NASB) neither if I am righteous are You the better.” Job 35:7(NASB)

You are my King, O God: Psalm 44:4(NASB) Other masters besides You have ruled me; but through You alone I confess Your name. Isaiah 26:13(NASB)

I declare today the LORD to be my God, and endeavor by grace to walk in His ways and keep His statutes, His commandments, and His ordinances, and listen to His voice and give myself to Him, to be of His people, who are a treasured possession, as He has promised, that I might be among a consecrated people to the LORD my God; Deuteronomy 26:17-19(NASB) and may be to Him for renown, for praise, and for glory. Jeremiah 13:11(NASB)

O LORD, surely I am Your servant; I am Your servant born in Your house, and You have loosed my bonds; Psalm 116:16(NASB) I have been bought with a price, and therefore I am not my own; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20(NASB) and so I yield to the LORD, 2 Chronicles 30:8(NASB) and join myself to Him in an everlasting covenant that will never be forgotten. Jeremiah 50:5(NASB)

I am Yours, save me; for I seek Your precepts; Psalm 119:94(NASB) it is Yours, Lord, that I give You, and that which is from Your hand. 1 Chronicles 29:16(NASB)

Acknowledge your Dependence on God and your Obligations to Him

Adoration 1.12 | NASB

I must acknowledge my dependence upon God and my obligations to Him as my Creator, Preserver, and Benefactor.

You, O God, made me, and not I myself, and therefore I am not my own but Yours: 1 Corinthians 6:19(NASB) I am of Your people and of the sheep of Your pasture; Psalm 100:3(NASB) let me therefore worship and bow down and kneel before the LORD my Maker. Psalm 95:6(NASB)

You, Lord, are the former of my body, and it is fearfully and wonderfully made and skillfully wrought. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Your book were all written the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them. Psalm 139:14-16(NASB)

You have clothed me with skin and flesh; You have knit me together with bones and sinews; You have granted me life and lovingkindness, and Your care preserves my spirit. Job 10:11-12(NASB)

You are the Father of my spirit, Hebrews 12:9(NASB) for You formed the spirit of man within him, Zechariah 12:1(NASB) and made this life for me. Jeremiah 38:16(NASB) The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. Job 33:4(NASB) You put wisdom in the innermost being and give understanding to the mind. Job 38:36(NASB)

You are God my Maker, who teaches me more than the beasts of the earth and makes me wiser than the birds of the heavens. Job 35:10-11(NASB)

I am the clay, and You my Potter; I am the work of Your hand. Isaiah 64:8(NASB)

You are He who brought me forth from the womb and kept me in safety when upon my mother’s breasts; I have been cast upon You from birth and sustained by You. Psalm 22:9-10(NASB) You have been my God from my mother’s womb, and therefore my praise is continually of You. Psalm 71:6(NASB)

In You, O God, I live and move and exist, for I am Your child. Acts 17:28(NASB)

In Your hand are my life-breath and all my ways; Daniel 5:23(NASB) for a man’s way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps, Jeremiah 10:23(NASB) but my times are in Your hand. Psalm 31:15(NASB)

You are the God who has been my shepherd all my life to this day and redeemed me from all evil. Genesis 48:15-16(NASB)

It is of Your mercies that I am not consumed, even because Your compassions never fail: they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23(NASB)

If You take away my spirit, I expire and return to the dust out of which I was taken. Psalm 104:29(NASB)

Who is there who speaks and it comes to pass, unless You have commanded it? From Your mouth, O Most High, both good and ill go forth. Lamentations 3:37-38(NASB)

Give Honor to the Triune God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit

Adoration 1.11 | NASB

We must give honor to the three persons in the Godhead distinctly, to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that great and sacred Name into which we were baptized and in which we assemble for religious worship, in communion with the universal church.

I pay homage to three that testify in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; for these three are one. 1 John 5:7(KJV)

I adore You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, Matthew 11:25(NASB) and the eternal Word, who was in the beginning with God and was God, through whom all things came into being, and apart from whom nothing came into being that has come into being; John 1:1-3(NASB) and who in the fullness of time, Galatians 4:4(NASB) became flesh and dwelt among us and showed His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14(NASB)

And since it is the will of God that all should honor the Son even as they honor the Father, John 5:23(NASB) I adore Him as the radiance of His Father’s glory and the exact representation of His nature; Hebrews 1:3(NASB) herein joining with the angels of God, who were all bidden to worship him. Hebrews 1:6(NASB)

I pay homage to the exalted Redeemer, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth, Revelation 1:5(NASB) confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:11(NASB)

I also worship the Holy Spirit, the Helper, whom the Son has sent from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, John 15:26(NASB) and who is sent to teach me all things and to bring to my remembrance all things; John 14:26(NASB) who indited the Scriptures, holy men of God writing them as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21(NASB)
