The One We Serve

"Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.  Amen."-1 Timothy 1:17

"For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God."-Deuteronomy 4:24

"But You,  Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head."-Psalm 3:3

"He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those who are with young."-Isaiah 40:11

"All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth.  No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, 'What have You done?'"-Daniel 4:35

"He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.  He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.  But as many as received Him, to them he gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.  And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."-John 1:10-14

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."-Romans 5:8

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."-John 3:16

"From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.  And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, 'King of kings, and Lord of lords.'"-Revelation 19:15

"'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, 'who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.'"-Revelation 1:8

"And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within, and day and night they do not cease to say, 'Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come?' And when the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 'Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed,  and were created.'"-Revelation 4:8-11

"Then I looked,  and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.'  And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, 'To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.'  And the four living creatures kept saying, 'Amen.'  And the elders fell down and worshiped."-Revelation 5:11-14

This is the One we serve.  I fear that many, even in the church, have forgotten who the Lord is.  May He find us and our homes humble and contrite in spirit, trembling at His Word (Isaiah 66:2).
