YOURS IS THE KINGDOM AND THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER

Words fail me in describing this phrase of praise to our God. What better way to enlarge upon it than to draw from Scripture.

David says his Praise in Psalm 8:9 with "O Lord our Lord, how excellent (Majestic and glorious) is your name in all the earth." In Psalm 148:13 it states:
"...praise and exalt the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted and supreme! His Glory and Majesty are above earth and heaven." In Psalm 93:1&2 we read "The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty. Your throne is established of old, You are from everlasting..."

Revelation 4:11 talks about the members in heaven, falling prostrate and crying "Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and dominion, for You created all things..." And in Revelation 5:12 we see John the Revelator hearing ten thousand times ten thousand angels saying "Deserving is the Lamb, who was sacrificed, to receive all the power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and majesty and blessing!"

And then from I Chronicles 29:11 from where these words are taken: "Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, indeed everything that is in the heavens and the earth; Yours is the dominions, O Lord, and You exalt Yourself as head over all."

My Prayer:
O My Lord, You are Majesty! Even Job could only stand in awe when he realized Your Power. You, who made the oceans also made the dew drop. In John 18 You tell Pilate Your Kingdom is not of this world, and in Psalm 93, Your throne is established of old. Your Glory is from everlasting to everlasting. Yet, You tell me Your kingdom is within me (Luke 17:20), and the power of the Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave is within me! Romans 8 gives the promise that I will share in Your Glory. So Lord, Your kingdom, and power and glory which is forever, is also mine forever! The Lord reigns! Hallelujah! Blessed be the name of the Lord! Amen
