Our Father in heaven, your name be honored as holy.

Matthew 6:9

For I am a great king,” says the Lord Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the nations.

Malachi 1:14b CSB

Names of God

Worship is expressed in four ways:

  • Reverence – Recognizing and acknowledging God as due all honor.
  • Gratitude – From an outpouring of our hearts, the center of our being.
  • Veneration – to exalt God in recognition of His supremacy
  • Praise – to recognize, acknowledge and proclaim the value and worth of God.

Since God is our Father we have:

  • access – I’m invited
  • acceptance – I’m welcomed
  • attention – I’m heard

Promise from Jesus about the Father:

If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him.

Matthew 7:11 CSB
