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.

Reverently Adore God, Part 2

Adoration 1.3 | NASB

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

The heavens are telling of Your glory, O God, and their expanse is declaring the work of Your hands; Psalm 19:1(NASB) and Your eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen and understood through what has been made. Romans 1:19-20(NASB) So that they are fools without excuse who say, “There is no God”; Psalm 14:1(NASB) for surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth, Psalm 58:11(NASB) and in heaven too!

I therefore come to You believing that You are and that You are the powerful and bountiful rewarder of those who seek You. Hebrews 11:6(NASB)

Yet I must own His nature to be incomprehensible.

I cannot discover the depths of God; I cannot discover the limits of the Almighty. Job 11:7(NASB)

Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised, and His greatness is unsearchable. Psalm 145:3(NASB)

Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the LORD? Or can show forth all His praise? Psalm 106:2(NASB)

And His perfections to be matchless and without compare.

Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders? Exodus 15:11(NASB)

Who in the skies is comparable to the LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like the LORD? Psalm 89:6(NASB) O LORD God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty LORD? Your faithfulness also surrounds You. Psalm 89:8(NASB)

There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like Yours. Psalm 86:8(NASB) For You are great and do wondrous deeds; You alone are God. Psalm 86:10(NASB)

No creature has an arm like God, or can thunder with a voice like His. Job 40:9(NASB)

And that He is infinitely above us and all other beings.

You are God and not man; You do not have eyes of flesh, nor do You see as a man sees. Your days are not as the days of a mortal, nor your years as man’s years. Job 10:4-5(NASB)

As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your thoughts higher than my thoughts, and Your ways than my ways. Isaiah 55:9(NASB)

All the nations before You are like a drop from the bucket, or a speck of dust on the scales; and You lift up the islands like fine dust; Isaiah 40:15(NASB) they are as nothing, and are regarded by You as less than nothing and meaningless. Isaiah 40:17(NASB)

Reverently Adore God, Part 1

Adoration 1.2 | NASB

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

O LORD my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering Yourself with light as with a cloak; Psalm 104:1-2(NASB) and yet to me you make darkness Your hiding place, Psalm 18:11(NASB) for I cannot arrange my case because of darkness. Job 37:19(NASB)

This is the message that I have heard from you, and I set my seal to it that it is true: God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all; 1 John 1:5(NASB) God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them. 1 John 4:16(NASB)

You are the Father of light, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow, and from whom proceeds every good thing and every perfect gift. James 1:17(NASB)

You are the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alones possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. 1 Timothy 6:15-16(NASB)
