1 Chronicles 29:11 · KJV

"Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all."

King James Version

Passage Context

⁹Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

¹⁰Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.

¹¹Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.

¹²Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.

¹³Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name.

Devotional Reflection

LoveJoyPeaceGratitudeHopeAweContentment

Praise is how we tell God we appreciate Him for who He is, what He has done, and what He is doing now. But praise is more than just telling God how great He is. It is also rejoicing in His greatness and recognizing that not only is His grace unmatched, but also His majesty, power, holiness, faithfulness, righteousness, mercy, love, forgiveness, and justice. God is God, and praise is thanking Him for being God and, more importantly, for being our God.

Prayer

You are a great and gracious God without comparison, and you are truly worthy of my best expressions of thought, imagination, and words. I don't just worship and submit to you; I also celebrate who you are, what you have accomplished, and what you still have to do. My God and Father, you are wonderful. I give you praise through Jesus and in light of His unfathomable love. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.

Praise is a direct speech to God in which we express our appreciation for who He is, what He has done, and what He is doing. But praise is more than informing God of His grandeur; it is delighting before Him in His magnificence and understanding that not only is His grace without comparison, but so are His majesty, might, holiness, faithfulness, righteousness, mercy, love, forgiveness, and justice. God is God, and praise is a grateful celebration of His being God, and, more significantly, our God.

Prayer

Great and kind God, no one else can compare to You. You deserve my best words, best thoughts, and best ideas. I not only worship You and submit to You, but I also rejoice that You are who You are. I celebrate what You have done, and I long for what You will do. My Father and God, You are wonderful. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.
