Learning to Worship: Step #6 Express Adoration and Awe of Eternal Salvation

"He provided redemption for his people; he ordained his covenant forever - holy and awesome is his name."

Psalm 111:9

The verbs are very important. (1) "He provided redemption for his people" and (2) "he ordained his covenant forever."

The outburst of praise is 2-fold: "holy and awesome is his name."

The Lord is to be praised because he provided redemption for his people in delivering them from the bondage in Egypt and bringing them into the land of promise. We too can rejoice in the fact He has provided redemption for us through the death of our Savior upon the cross.

Ephesians 1:7: "In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace" (NASB).

"He ordained his covenant forever." The first covenant God made with Abraham was an unconditional, eternal covenant that there would be a land and a seed. God has been faithful to fulfill those promises and will continue to fulfill those promises in the future.

"Holy and awesome is his name."

Luke 1:68: "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, For He has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people" (NASB).

My heart swells with love and adoration toward our awesome God. Let's sing together verse 3 of "Day by Day":

Help me then in ev'ry tribulation

So to trust Thy promises, O Lord,

That I lose not faith's sweet consolation

Offered me within Thy holy Word.

Help, me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,

E'er to take, as from a father's hand,

One by one, the days, the moments fleeting

Till I reach the promised land.
