We've reached the last post in our look at different types of writing in the Bible. Praise and worship of Jehovah God is one of the central themes of Scripture. Although it comes in several varieties, it's some of the easiest language to identify.
Look for direct address and second person pronouns for God (the "you" ones).
"Lord, You have been our dwelling in all generations." Psalm 90:1
Look for the word "praise" and then notice the reason or occasion.
"I will praise You for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14
Look for descriptions of His attributes and/or what He does (especially those things that are like no one else).
"He is unique and who can make Him change? And whatever His soul desires, that He does." Job 23:13
Some verses may fit more than one variety.
"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3
If you're a list maker, keeping track of all the reasons to praise God- who He is, and what He does- is a great faith builder. Just tuck that sheet in the back of your Bible and add to it over time.
What is your favorite praise/worship verse?
I'm not exactly a "list" person, but I think it's a pretty cool post, really. I never knew the attributes were considered praise, so that was kinda neat to learn about. I always knew the "praise" verses were ones about praise. But, the different variations of praise verses were very interesting. Thanks for helping me learn something new!
