of any doubt and unbelief, and just have faith and believe only. Do not be
afraid. Refrain from complaining and griping and finding fault, but instead
offer up to God thanksgiving and praise. He responds positively to praise,
faith and gratitude. Faith pleases God. Without faith it is impossible to
please God. Then you will see the promises of God come to pass in your life and
enter into your promised land. Keep a positive attitude.
Scriptures About
Excellence
Touching
the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in
judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Job 37:23
Psalms
8
1 O Lord our Lord, how
excellent is thy Name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the
heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of
babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that
thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy
heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast
ordained;
4 What is man, that thou
art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him
a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
6 Thou madest him to have
dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen,
yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air,
and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how
excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Psalms
16:1-3
1 Preserve me, O God:
for in thee do I put my trust.
2 O my soul, thou hast
said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee;
3 But to the saints that
are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight.
Psalms
36:7-10
7 How excellent is thy
lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the
shadow of thy wings.
8 They shall be
abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them
drink of the river of thy pleasures.
9 For with thee is the
fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.
10 O continue thy
lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright
in heart.
Thou
art more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey. Psalms 76:4
Psalms
148:13-14
13 Let them praise the
name of the Lord: for His Name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth
and heaven.
14 He also exalteth the
horn of His people, the praise of all His saints; even of the children of
Israel, a people near unto Him. Praise ye the Lord.
Psalms
150
1 Praise ye the Lord.
Praise God in His Sanctuary: praise Him in the firmament of His power.
2 Praise Him for His
mighty acts: praise Him according to His excellent greatness.
3 Praise Him with the
sound of the trumpet: praise Him with the psaltery and harp.
4 Praise Him with the
timbrel and dance: praise Him with stringed instruments and organs.
5 Praise Him upon the
loud cymbals: praise Him upon the high sounding cymbals.
6 Let everything that
hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
He
that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an
excellent spirit. Proverbs 17:27
Song
5:15-16
15 His legs are as pillars
of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: His countenance is as Lebanon,
excellent as the cedars.
16 His mouth is most
sweet: yea, He is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend,
O daughters of Jerusalem.
In
that day shall the Branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit
of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel.
Isaiah 4:2
Isaiah
12:5-6
5 Sing unto the Lord;
for He hath done excellent things: this is known in all the earth.
6 Cry out and shout, thou
inhabitant of Zion: for great is the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee.
This
also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and
excellent in working. Isaiah 28:29
Daniel
5:12-14
12 Forasmuch as an
excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and
shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same
Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will
show the interpretation.
13 Then was Daniel brought
in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that
Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my
father brought out of Jewry?
14 I have even heard of
thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding
and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
Then
this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an
excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole
realm. Daniel 6:3
But
covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way. 1
Corinthians 12:31
Philippians
1:10-11

things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the
day of Christ;

fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise
of God.
Hebrews
1:1-10
1 God, who at sundry
times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets,
2 Hath in these last days
spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom
also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the
brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all
things by the Word of His Power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty on High;
4 Being made so much
better than the angels, as He hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent
name than they.
5 For unto which of the
angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And
again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he
bringeth in the first begotten into the world, He saith, And let all the angels
of God worship Him.
7 And of the angels he
saith, Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son He
saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is
the sceptre of Thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even Thy God, hath anointed Thee
with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the
beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works
of Thine hands:
But
now hath He obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also He is the Mediator
of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. Hebrews 8:6
By
faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he
obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it
he being dead yet speaketh. Hebrews 11:4
For
He received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice
to Him from the Excellent Glory, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased. 2 Peter 1:17
And
in the greatness of Thine excellency Thou hast overthrown them that rose up
against Thee. Thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. Exodus
15:7
Deuteronomy
33:26-27
26 There is none like unto
the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in His
excellency on the sky.
27 The Eternal God is thy
refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and He shall thrust out the
enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
Happy
art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the
shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! And thine enemies
shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. Deuteronomy
33:27
Deck
Thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array Thyself with glory and
beauty. Job 40:10
Psalms
47:4-9
4 He shall choose our
inheritance for us, the excellency of Jacob whom He loved. Selah.
5 God is gone up with a
shout, the Lord with the sound of a trumpet.
6 Sing praises to God,
sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises.
7 For God is the King of
all the earth: sing ye praises with understanding.
8 God reigneth over the
heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of His holiness.
9 The princes of the
people are gathered together, even the people of the God of Abraham: for the
shields of the earth belong unto God: He is greatly exalted.
Psalms
68:34-35
34 Ascribe ye strength
unto God: His excellency is over Israel, and His strength is in the clouds.
35 O God, thou art awesome
out of thy holy places; the God of Israel is He that giveth strength and power
unto His people. Blessed be God.
For
wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense: but the excellency of knowledge
is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it. Ecclesiastes 7:12
Isaiah
35
1
The
wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall
rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 It shall blossom
abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall
be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the Glory
of the Lord, and the excellency of our God.
3 Strengthen ye the weak
hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Say to them that are of
a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with
vengeance, even God with a recompence; He will come and save you.
5 Then the eyes of the
blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then shall the lame man
leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall
waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7 And the parched ground
shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation
of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 And an highway shall be
there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall
not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools,
shall not err therein.
9 No lion shall be there,
nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but
the redeemed shall walk there:
10 And the ransomed of the
Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their
heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee
away.
Isaiah
60:15-16
15 Whereas thou hast been
forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an
eternal excellency, a joy of many generations.
16 Thou shalt also suck
the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt
know that I the Lord am thy Savior and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
1
Corinthians 2:1-5
1 And I, brethren, when
I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto
you the testimony of God.
2 For I determined not to
know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.
3 And I was with you in
weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
4 And my speech and my
preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of
the Spirit and of power:
5 That your faith should
not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.
2
Corinthians 4:5-7
5 For we preach not
ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus'
sake.
6 For God, who commanded
the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the
light of the knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this
treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God,
and not of us.
Philippians
3:7-14
7 But what things were
gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I
count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but
dung, that I may win Christ,
9 And be found in Him,
not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is
through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
10 That I may know Him,
and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being
made conformable unto His death;
11 If by any means I might
attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had
already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I
may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not
myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things
which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark
for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Psalms
103:20-22
20 Bless the Lord, ye His
angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the
voice of His Word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all
ye His hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all His
works in all places of His dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.
Even
so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel
to the edifying of the church. 1 Corinthians 14:12
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
