Do you ever have the feeling that you ought to praise God the Father more for His Son, Jesus? Why not take a few minutes and worship during this busy season? Heres a way to praise... *** O Holy heavenly Father, Thank You that because the eternally existing Lord Jesus humbled Himself to be born as a baby, to live a perfect life on this planet, and to become obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross, therefore You have highly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess (as I do at this time) that Jesus Christ is Lord, so that You, Father may be glorified (Philippians 2:8-11). Joy to the world! The Lord is come; Let earth receive her king; Let every heart prepare Him room; And heaven and nature sing. I thank You that all authority has been given to Him both in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18) and that You have set Him over the works of Your hands and have put everything in subjection under His feet, and have crowned Him with glory and honor (Hebrews 2:7-9). Joy to the earth! the savior reigns; Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains; Repeat the sounding joy. Jesus indeed is King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). You, Father, the Ancient of days, have given Him dominion and glory and a kingdom, an everlasting dominion and a kingdom that shall not be destroyed (Daniel 7:13-14). No more let sins and sorrows grow; Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow; Far as the curse is found. You have placed the government upon His shoulders. His name is called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace; and of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end (Isaiah 9:6-7). He rules the world with truth and grace; And makes the nations prove; The glories of His righteousness; And wonders of His love. You, Father, have set Him as a King upon Zion, Your holy hill (Psalm 2:6). Thank You that He will reign over the house of Jacob forever (Luke 1:33). He will put down all opposing rule, principality, and power (1 Corinthians 15:24-25). All His enemies will be made a footstool for His feet (Hebrews 10:13) and then He will deliver the kingdom to You, God ourFather (1 Corinthians 15:24) that You, God, may be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28). Truly He taught us to love one another. His law is love and His gospel is peace. Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother. And in His name all oppression shall cease. Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we. Let all within us praise His holy name! I fall on my knees. I hear the angel voices. O night divine, O night when Christ was born! Today, I pause, O Father, and give You praise for Jesus Christ, Your Son and my Savior and Lord. He is the Light of the world and the Light of my life. Amen.
