To Glorify God’s Name--Feb. 14, 2021

We bless and glorify your name, O God;

all that is within us blesses your name.

 

You have given dominion and kingship

and glory to Christ, and through him 

we have trust and confidence in you,

and in the ministry of justification. 

 

Make us competent to serve you

and to glorify your name.

Selected Verses 

Ps. 103:1

Bless the LORD, O my soul,
          and all that is within me,
          bless his holy name.

 

Dan. 7:14a

To him was given dominion
          and glory and kingship,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
          should serve him.

 

2 Cor. 3:4-5, 9

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.  Not that we are competent of ourselves to claim anything as coming from us; our competence is from God  … For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, much more does the ministry of justification abound in glory!

 

John 12:28

“…Father, glorify your name.”  Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
