Today I want to give you  an example of personal worship helping to nurture my first love for God, using Psalm 84, focusing on the name “Lord Almighty” or “Lord of Hosts”.

“Praise be to you, Lord God Almighty,

Commander of the hosts of Heaven.

To you we give glory and honor and praise, for you,

Lord God,

King Jesus,

Gracious Father,

Holy Spirit.

You are the most High,

the most Wise,

the most Powerful,

the most Good

and the most Holy of all.

You are without beginning or end.

You are the junction point of seeming opposites:

justice and mercy,

truth and grace,

holiness and redemption.

Only you could be so,

only you are worthy of honor and praise.

It is right to bow down in worship before you.

It is right to surrender all to you.

It is right to rise up in obedience.

Praise be to you, Lord God Almighty.”
