Don’t you love it when you hear a new way that God is described? King of Saints. I like that. Don’t you?

Lord God, KING OF SAINTS, I love and adore You!

I love it when God says, “this is my name.” Then, in case we aren’t paying attention, He repeats Himself. “Hellooooo! Is anybody listening? I’m jealous when you worship other gods. Don’t do it!”  

Lord God, You are JEALOUS for my affection and worship. And that I do.

When God says something one time, we need to pay attention. When He speaks it twice in the same breath, we need to sit up and take notice. God voices two times that He gets it that there are times when we don’t know how or what to pray. But, we’re not to worry. The Holy Spirit does an internal investigation of our hearts. Then, He intercedes on our behalf. He speaks to God for us. How cool is that? 

Holy One, What a joy to know that You INTERCEDE for me when I’m weak and don’t know what to pray. Thank You! I praise You! Please pass that along to the FATHER.

The word “inscrutable” comes from two Hebrew words that describe God’s understanding. The New International Version of the Bible uses the word fathom in this verse: “His understanding no one can fathom.” The New King James Version says it this way, “His understanding is unsearchable.” We get the point. When we look to God, we’re praying to One who understands us better than we understand ourselves. He understands our situations better than we do. And, we’ll never understand everything about God. Trust and faith are important elements of our prayers and praise.  

Lord, You are INSCRUTABLE. Your understanding no one can fathom. I look to You in praise and trust!

Have you ever felt guilty? Isn’t it a horrible feeling? What do you do with guilt? You can’t hide it, shake it, or even bury it. It clings to you like a cat. Nails dug in, it’s determined to not let you go. There is one person who never experienced guilt. Until He hung on the cross and took our guilt upon Himself, Jesus was innocent. Can you imagine going from a state of holy innocent to one of overwhelming sin and shame? Our Lord did that. He loves us so. 

My wonderful, Lord, You, the INNOCENT one, took my shame and guilt so that I might be declared innocent. Thank You! Thank You!

God is incorruptible. That means He is immortal. Christ’s body did not undergo decay in the tomb. Though His body was beaten, struck, pierced, nailed to a cross, and Christ gave up His Spirit, He didn’t stay dead. His Father is incorruptible and immortal. He is incorruptible and immortal. What should be our response? Wonder. Awe. Worship. 

Lord God, You are INCORRUPTIBLE. May I be careful to place You above everything.

Can you imagine receiving a phone call and being told that a relative you barely knew had passed away and left you all his money? “That’s nice of Uncle Fred,” you might say, thinking to the last time you’d seen him and his rather common clothing and car. But then, the executor of the estate explains that Uncle Fred was wealthy. “Congratulations! You’re a billionaire!” Psalm 16:5 is such a comment to the Christian. “Congratulations! You’re inheriting Christ, His home, heaven.” Does that cause you to smile?

Lord, You are my INHERITANCE; what more could I want. I love You and praise You!

Have you ever let something spoil in the refrigerator? You meant to eat it, but didn’t. You found those left-overs crammed behind the milk and orange juice, opened the lid, and whew! It stunk. It had perished. Ruined. Was no good – for you or anyone. Not so with God and His Word. They are imperishable! They are always good. God’s seed – Christ – has been planted in us. He is living in us. He won’t die. We won’t die. Our spirits are born through the living and enduring word of God. Hallelujah! Celebrate! 

Lord, I celebrate YOU! You are IMPERISHABLE. Your word is enduring. I have been born of Your imperishable seed. Thank You! I praise You!

“What does your husband do?” Many women are asked that question after the prior, “Are you married?” For a single woman who longs to be married, the questions can be exasperating. For a woman whose husband works in a position she doesn’t respect, such questions can make her feel uncomfortable. But how about if someone asked about your husband and you replied, “He’s the God of all the earth, the Lord of HOSTS. Yep, that’s my husband.” Then you could quickly reply, “And what does your husband do?” 🙂 God CHOSE to describe Himself as Husband, married to you for eternity. That’s praiseworthy!  

Lord, my HUSBAND, maker, Lord of hosts, Redeemer, Holy One of Israel, God of all the earth, I love You and praise You for Your tender care of me for eternity!
