Worship and Praise: Who is this God we serve?

[chicacanella]

Just wanted to make a sample thread because many times I hear people saying: "Well, I don't know what else to say after 1 minute of worshipping and/or praising God?" I've been there before and I think it would be give a break down and help us all remember these things during worship and/or praise, knowing that His glory is so vast that there will always be something to praise and worship Him for. So, if you would like to add something, the guideline would be:


- Who (loving, kind, merciful, Jehovah Jireh)
- Example: "Remember when you didn't even care about Him,"
- Scripture pinpointing if you can find one.

Who: Jehovah TSIDKENU (pronounced tis'-ke-nu), the Lord my righteous, holy, sacred Lord

Example: Holy, holy Lord. You are the Holy, righteous, sacred Lord, lover of my soul.

Scripture: Psalm 103:1:Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

This may be off topic, but here's another reason why I thank the Lord for the Holy Spirit and my heavenly language because when I have no more earthly/English words, I can worship in/with my heavenly language, where the sentiments of my heart are articulated so accurately.
