In the Old Testament, the literature of adoration reaches its high-water mark in the Psalms (compare especially the group Psalms 95-100), where the ineffable majesty, power and holiness of God are set forth in lofty strains. In the New Testament, adoration of the Deity finds its most rapturous expression in Revelation, where the vision of God calls forth a chorus of praise addressed to the thrice-holy God (4:8-11; 7:11,12), with whom is associated the Redeemer-Lamb.” One of many examples of adoration being offered is found in the book of Psalms. . “Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (Ps. 103:1-2). “O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy endureth forever” (Ps. 107:1). “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing” (Ps. 100:1-2). How often have we started our prayer with this type of adoration or homage to God? So often we just approach prayer with request and not in the spirit of adoration.
