Scripture Reference


 Ps 148:1-13 

Praise the LORD! 
Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights! 
Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his host! 
Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all you shining stars! 
Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! 
Let them praise the name of the LORD, for he commanded and they were created. 
He established them forever and ever; he fixed their bounds, which cannot be  passed. 

Praise the LORD from the earth, you sea monsters and all deeps, fire and hail, snow and frost, stormy wind fulfilling his command! 
Mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars! 
Wild animals and all cattle, creeping things and flying birds! 
Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers of the earth! 
Young men and women alike, old and young together! 
Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; His glory is above earth and heaven. 

Gen 1:26, 31 

Made in God's Image

Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our  likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the  birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the
earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. God saw  everything he had made, and indeed, it was very good. 

1 Jn 3:1 

Children of God 

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of  God; and that is what we are.
