“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 4:11)

Worthy is the LORD.  There is no other who is worthy.  He holds all authority and has all power.  In this age, the struggle is to give no honor to others where it is not due.  Do not throw your pearls before swine.  Do not denigrate the Lord by giving to others what belongs to Him.  Be led by the Lord and know that He alone is the One worthy of your honor and praise.

Lord, Creator of all that exists, I cannot even begin to comprehend all that this means.  Lead me according to Your goodness to know that in You alone is my hope and a future.  Guide me to not only look to You but submit to You in and for all things.  You know all that is needed.  You have provided grace upon grace so that we can be with You forever.  Teach me how to praise You.

Lord Jesus, You are worthy of all worship that I can give You.  You have lifted me up so that I can walk in Your presence.  Yes, I can hold my head up, but let my knees buckle in praise of You knowing that I am always in Your presence.  You are worthy of all the praise I can muster.  Help me learn how to live a life of praise and thanksgiving.  Guide me in the right way of living that You have given me.  Amen.
