I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am
saved from my enemies. (Psalm 18:3)
Is the Lord worthy of praise? Yes, he is! The psalmists definitely thought so.
That's why they sang,
Great is the LORD, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his holy
mountain. (Psalm 48:1)
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all
gods. (Psalm 96:4)
Great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
(Psalm 145:3)
They affirmed that God was not only worthy, but most worthy.
The writer of Hebrews says, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than
Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself.
(Hebrews 3:3)
Why? Because "He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses
was faithful in all God's house. (Hebrews 3:2)Moses was faithful as a servant
in all God's house, testifying to what would be said in the future. But Christ
is faithful as a son over God's house. (Hebrews 3:5, 6a)
And then this beautiful part in the book of Revelation;
And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to
break the seals and open the scroll?" I wept and wept because no one was
found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then I saw a Lamb,
looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne,
encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and
seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He
came and took the scroll from the right hand of him who sat on the throne.
(Revelation 5:2,4,6,7)
And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open
its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for
God from every tribe and language and people and nation. In a loud voice they
sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and
wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5:9,12)
He truly is worthy of praise, your praise. Yes; your praise will bring him
glory. So do not keep silent.
