Praise be to you, O Lord, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks and praise your glorious name. (1 Chronicles 29:10–13, NIV 1984).
My Musings – Timeless. “From everlasting to everlasting,” Creator. “Everything in heaven and earth is yours.” Omnipotent. “Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power…in your hands are strength and power.” Sovereign. “You are exalted as head over all…ruler of all things.” Praiseworthy. “Yours, O Lord…the glory and the majesty and the splendor.”
My Advice – We owe Him for what time we have on this earth, and for the opportunity for eternal life with Him. For whatever “strength and power” we have to live the life He has given us. For whatever “wealth and honor” we achieve. How else should we respond but to “give [Him] thanks and praise.” Glorious is your name, the great IAM.
