Isaiah
"Let them give glory to the LORD"
Text: Isaiah 42:12
GIVING GLORY TO THE LORD
The LORD is deserving of glory. All who truly know the LORD cannot help but give to Him both praise and glory!
“Let them give glory to the LORD,
And declare His praise in the coastlands.
The LORD shall go forth like a mighty man;
He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war.
He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;
He shall prevail against His enemies.”
