My Fourth Praise List

 

Praise 10

 

Today’s post is another praise list. I call this one The Glory of Thy Name. It was birthed out of a sermon series I preached on some of the names of God. It is a great way to remind myself of Who He is and of my relationship to Him. In this, I see God as Isaiah saw Him, high and holy and lifted up. And it humbles me, motivates me, and warms me.
