Sing His Praises!

For a while now, I've been pondering and praying about what to post on here.  Many times, I would either sit down to write, and no words would seem to come, or I just could not get my thoughts to form into sentences.  I could not figure out what was wrong; I had plenty of things I wanted to write about, and they were things that would be helpful and edifying.   I realized today, that sometimes the things we wish to talk of are not always what the Lord is desiring to say.  So, what is He desiring to be said?
  My conviction is strong, that there must be no idle words spoken, and that whatever is spoken must bring honor and glory to the Lord Jesus.  And it is certain, that there is one thing that always brings Him glory and that He does indeed desire: the sacrifice of Praise, and the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name! (Heb 13.15)

  So, I will proclaim the honors of His Dear name!  For truly, to the name of Christ Jesus alone, belong all glory and honor and praise!  There is none other who is worthy of our love and affection as is He!  Oh, think of all that He has done for us!  Do not forget all His wondrous works!  Remember all that He has brought us out of; how He redeemed us from bondage to sin and death, and how He has given us new and abundant life  in Jesus, His Son!  That because of that position in Him we now hold, there is no more condemnation hanging over our heads!  Remember what His blood has purchased; not only forgiveness of our many sins and the taking away of our guilt and shame, but also His gracious Spirit as a witness that we are children of God, our assurance of the hope of eternity with Him!  That we feeble and useless branches, have been engrafted into the True Vine, that our Good and  Father is the Husbandman who faithfully keeps us abiding, and that abiding in Christ, we may bear much fruit unto the glory of His dear name!
  Oh, that name of Jesus which is high above every other name!  None can compare!  His beauty is so much lovelier, His majesty is so much greater, His mercy is so much broader, His Holiness is so much purer!  He is the only Righteous and True One!  He is alone is good and Perfect!  Only He could be that Great High Priest who, in His Victorious Perfection, is ever interceding for us!
  Oh, praise His name!  Let us sing His praises continually, for ever and ever!  Truly, He is so very worthy!  Worthy of our every thought, every ounce of our adoration, every word of our mouths, every work of our hands; all must be for the honor and glory of Jesus!
  He is the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the One who reigns and will reign forever more as Almighty God!!!

  Now unto Him be All blessing and honor and power and dominion and glory and praise due His glorious, awesome, worthy, Name!
