“Bless the Lord”

“Bless the Lord”

Blessings folk!

Fear not!
Seek the Lord!
Confess before the Lord!

Nehemiah 9 gives us an account of when Israel did such.

The Levites led in the prayer.
Note how it is stated.
The must have lifted up a “written” prayer before the Lord…or, perhaps they prayed individually in sequence.
Regardless, hear a portion of what they said…

Neh 9:5

Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah, said,
“Arise, bless the LORD your God forever and ever!
O may Your glorious name be blessed
And exalted above all blessing and praise!

They called for the people to arise before the Lord.
They called for the people to bless the Lord your God forever and ever.

This is where we start.

Arise before the Lord in honor.
Bless the Lord “your God”…acknowledging that He is God!
Doing so without ceasing.
Declaring/knowing/understanding His “glorious name”.
Blessing His name.
Exalting His name.
Above all else.

This is where we as Believers live.
In the blessed and glorious name of the Lord.

Do it!
Arise!
Bless!
Exalt!
The Lord God alone.

Anything else…
Any other way…
Is idolatry.
