This list comes from an outline by J Ligon Duncan III, as adapted from a Matthew Henry document. It gives a strong set of prayer topics for which we can praise our God – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
State that He is infinitely above us, and all other beings. Particularly in our adorations we must acknowledge:
- He is an eternal and immutable God.
- He is omnipresent.
- He is omniscient.
- He is all-wise.
- He is sovereign Lord and Owner of all.
- He is omnipotent.
- He is pure, holy, and just.
- He is just and fair in the rule of His creation.
- His truth is inviolable, and His goodness inexhaustible.
- Our adorations fall infinitely short of God’s glory.
That last one is astounding. Even if we praise God every day for all the splendid attributes on the list (and for all the other ones in the original document), we can never come close to describing His true magnificence.
