Written by The Attributes of God
Great are You, Lord, and most worthy of praise in Your city, O God, Your holy mountain.

(Psalm 48:1,10) Lord Jesus Christ, You received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to You from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” (2 Peter 1:17)

The Works of God
God’s grace was given to us in You, Christ Jesus, before the beginning of time and has now been revealed through Your appearing, O Savior, You who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. (2 Timothy 1:9–10) We see You, Jesus—the One who was made a little lower than the angels—now crowned with glory and honor because You suffered death, so that by the grace of God You might taste death for everyone. In bringing many of us to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make You—the author of our salvation—perfect through suffering. (Hebrews 2:9–10)
Take a moment to consider the greatness of God’s wonderful works.

The Character I Want to Cultivate

but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity. (Proverbs 11:3)
