Psalm 29:2
King James Version
2 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name;
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The HOLY SPIRIT gave me the beautiful verse above the other day.
We ended our article, "The LORD's VOICE", with it.
But today, we give full honor to this same verse.
It almost created this article, all on its own.
Simply, it tells us how to glorify GOD:
"worship the Lord
in the beauty of holiness".
And there's more.
The whole Bible expounds on it.
Today, SPIRIT directed me to these particular verses --
The BEST example is from His Son, JESUS:
John 12:44-45
King James Version
44 Jesus cried and said,
He that believeth on me, believeth not on me,
but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
John 12:48-50
King James Version
48 He that rejecteth me,
and receiveth not my words,
hath one that judgeth him:
the word that I have spoken,
the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself;
but the Father which sent me,
he gave me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment
is life everlasting:
whatsoever I speak therefore,
even as the Father said unto me,
so I speak.
John 17:1-3
King James Version
17 These words spake Jesus,
and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said,
Father, the hour is come;
glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh,
that he should give eternal life
to as many as thou hast given him.
3 And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
John 17:4
King James Version
4 I have glorified thee on the earth:
I have finished the work
which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:6-7
King James Version
6 I have manifested thy name
unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:
thine they were, and thou gavest them me;
and they have kept thy word.
7 Now they have known that all things
whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.
John 17:8
King James Version
8 For I have given unto them the words
which thou gavest me;
and they have received them,
and have known surely that I came out from thee,
and they have believed that thou didst send me.
John 17:9
King James Version
9 I pray for them:
I pray not for the world,
but for them which thou hast given me;
for they are thine.
John 17:12
King James Version
12 While I was with them in the world,
I kept them in thy name:
those that thou gavest me I have kept,
and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition;
that the scripture might be fulfilled.
John 17:14
King James Version
14 I have given them thy word;
and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world,
even as I am not of the world.
John 17:22
King James Version
22 And the glory
which thou gavest me
I have given them;
that they may be one,
even as we are one:
John 17:24
King James Version
24 Father, I will that they also,
whom thou hast given me,
be with me where I am;
that they may behold my glory,
which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me
before the foundation of the world.
John 17:26
King James Version
26 And I have declared unto them thy name,
and will declare it:
that the love wherewith thou hast loved me
may be in them, and I in them.
Apostle Paul tells us how to glorify GOD, too:
1 Corinthians 10:31-32
King James Version
31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink,
or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Give none offence, neither to the Jews,
nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
King David wrote a whole psalm:
Psalm 96
King James Version
96 O sing unto the Lord a new song:
sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;
shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen,
his wonders among all people.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols:
but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him:
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people,
give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name:
bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth:
the world also shall be established
that it shall not be moved:
he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein:
then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the Lord: for he cometh,
for he cometh to judge the earth:
he shall judge the world with righteousness,
and the people with his truth.
Now you see why we need to be "born of the Spirit".
We need GOD's SPIRIT to teach us.
How to know Him -- through Scripture, and JESUS.
Only through SPIRIT can we know what pleases GOD.
And the LORD JESUS showed us how.
Pray to be born of water, and of the SPIRIT.
John 3:5-8
King James Version
5 Jesus answered,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit,
he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
7 Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou hearest the sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it cometh,
and whither it goeth: so is every one
that is born of the Spirit.
