Fear and Reverence His Name


To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
 
From; GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be with you forever. [John 14:16]

 Subject: MY WORD

 
Psalm 22:22–31 (The Living Bible)
22I will praise you to all my brothers; I will stand up before the congregation and testify of the wonderful things you have done. 23Praise the Lord, each one of you who fears him,” I will say. “Each of you must fear and reverence his name. Let all Israel sing his praises, 24for he has not despised my cries of deep despair; he has not turned and walked away. When I cried to him, he heard and came.”
25Yes, I will stand and praise you before all the people. I will publicly fulfill my vows in the presence of all who reverence your name.
26The poor shall eat and be satisfied; all who seek the Lord shall find him and shall praise his name. Their hearts shall rejoice with everlasting joy. 27The whole earth shall see it and return to the Lord; the people of every nation shall worship him.
28For the Lord is King and rules the nations. 29Both proud and humble together, all who are mortal—born to die—shall worship him. 30Our children too shall serve him, for they shall hear from us about the wonders of the Lord; 31generations yet unborn shall hear of all the miracles he did for us.
 

Psalm 47:1–9 (The Living Bible)
      Come, everyone, and clap for joy! Shout triumphant praises to the Lord! 2For the Lord, the God above all gods, is awesome beyond words; he is the great King of all the earth. 3He subdues the nations before us 4and will personally select his choicest blessings for his Jewish people—the very best for those he loves.
5God has ascended with a mighty shout, with trumpets blaring. 6-7Sing out your praises to our God, our King. Yes, sing your highest praises to our King, the King of all the earth. Sing thoughtful praises! 8He reigns above the nations, sitting on his holy throne. 9The Gentile rulers of the world have joined with us in praising him—praising the God of Abraham—for the battle shields of all the armies of the world are his trophies. He is highly honored everywhere.
