Ascribe Praise, Glory and Honor to God
Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings,
Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;
Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
The God of glory thunders,
The Lord thunders over the mighty waters.
The voice of the LORD is powerful;
The voice of the LORD is majestic.
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
The LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon...
The voice of the LORD flashes with lightning.
The voice of the LORD shakes the desert…
The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare,
and all in his temple cry, “Glory!”
The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
The LORD is enthroned as King forever.
The LORD gives strength to his people;
The LORD blesses his people with peace.
Psalm 29: 1-11 NIV

God is simply too awesome to fathom.
When we consider the vastness and the wonder of creation, we are only left to wonder in total awe. When we look at the complexity of the human mind and body and how many amazing things we are able to do- all because we have been created in God’s image - we can only ascribe praise to our Maker.
David is inviting us, along with all the heavenly beings, to ascribe to the LORD, the glory due His name.
He reminds us of God’s majesty: The power of His voice which breaks trees, leaves forests bare, causes flashes of lightning and shakes the desert.
David reminds us that God is king forever. We should also ascribe glory to the LORD because He is the source of our strength and peace.
So, would you simply meditate over how deserving God is of your worship?
Would you take a moment to ascribe praise, honor and glory to Him?
