mags Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 We must ascribe , OR CREDIT, God with the glory and strength that is His. These qualities conform with His very name, reputation and character. In other words we need to credit God with the glory and strength that is appropriate to who He is. When we fail to do this we are failing to honour Him who is worthy. Only if we are self-centred and self-focused do we deny God the priase. Praise to God is in line with the reality of creation, and helps us to work through all circumstances for His glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? To "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength is credit Him for those attributes and the glory that is His. In failing to ascribe such qualities to the Lord God is not to know Him. We have no relationship with Him. To praise God is both fitting and worthy, because these qualities conform with his name, his reputation, and his very character. To praise God is to know Him and have a relationship with Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slicwidow Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Only God is worthy of our praise for WHO He is. He is the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent one and the only one who is! If we fail to give God the glory He is due, then others will not be brought to Him and we will be robbed of a blessing of bringing honor to Him.

What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? It means to give everything backto him,all the credit for what he does. We become to self-centred and rely on ourselves to much. He is worthy of our praise 100% because without him and his Son we would be just a waste of time going nowhere. I PRAISE YOU LORD.

What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? Ascribe means to credit or attribute to. In this case to give God the credit and the glory for the great things he has done. Not to do so would be foolishness. God is worthy of all our praise for it is He who has made us He is the creator and by Him all thing consist and exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allyann Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? His attributes are like inseparable attendants , they follow Him where ever He goes. Thus honor and majesty precede Him and strength and beauty wait on Him in His sanctuary. Honor and beauty are His escort; worship and magnificence the attendants of His shrine. If we really appreciate the greatness and goodness of God, we will want others to magnify His name. What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? It is impossible to experience the slightest measure of true joy, if you have not seen God's face or have had a personal relationship with him. It is only by knowing who God is and the attributes ascribed to Him will we know true joy. In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? The Lord is great in power and magnificience as he rules from His throne in Heaven. He is the exalted ruler over all people. We should honor His great and awesome name acknowledging the fact that He is Holy. "Before the Lord: for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness and the people with his truth." God searchest the heart, knows what is in the mind of the Spirit and will graciously accept the holy joy and praises of all who wish to be partakers of the kingdom of heaven.

Sarah43 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? To ascribe to God attributes of glory and strength is to recognize who and what He is. It is to recognize Him as source of All, the Maker of All. When we fail to ascribe such qualities to Him, we become Godless, unaware of and without, without honor, without majesty, without holiness, without beauty, without salvation, without glory, without wonder, without strength. When we praise him, we have all these things, and indescribably more, and are deeply and completely happy. I love this Psalm, among many others, particularly the psalmist's inclusion of the non-human created in praise of God, the sky, the sea, the field, the trees of wood, reminding us that He is Maker of All, not just humanity. Praise to God is fitting and worthy. It is glory due Him. This is reflected in many places in the psalms, and elsewhere in scripture. I think immediately though, of verses 4-7 of Psalm 95: "In his hand are the deep places of the earth;the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his also, and he made it:and his hands formed the dry land. O come let us worship and bow down;let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is our God;and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
servant for Christ Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? To me, what it means to ascribe to God is to give back to Him joyfully, cheerfully, and wondrously what He has given me. He is so worthy of my praises. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Our God reigns! I worship and praise Him because He is my everything. He is my sovereign God. When we fail to give back to God what He deserves, we lose sight of everything, including our relationship with God. Our praise to God is fitting and worthy because of who He is, because of what He has done, is doing, and going to do. To know that He is coming back after His church and we will reign with Him forever. My Lord, my Savior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? ANS - "Ascribe" - means to give Him the credit, as it were, the complete authorship, with all its lauditory recognition and praise, for the great and wonderful things He has done - for the glory and honor due His name. What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? ANS - Then He is really not God in our lives - for to be so, we must in faith accept Him for who He really is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? We (erkennen) that He is the God who made the earth and has the right to give us a manual :-) + that He can control every situation + that He can help us If we don't ascribe those qualities to Him, we easily forget His right to be King! We need to know our place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royk Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? Having reviewed webster's and Psalm 96 text, ascribe here can refer to giving credit to the Lord for the items referenced afterwards. Psalm 96 over all is focused on inhabitants of the earth being invited to praise the Lord, 1-3. His supreme majesty, 3-6. The tribes of Israel are invited to glorify him, 7-9; and to proclaim him among the heathen, 10. The heavens and the earth are commanded to rejoice in him. And the power of praise to God should not be a left-over emotion, not something to do with half a heart. This powerful Psalm ends in giving great glory to God. 11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it; 12 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; 13 they will sing before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth. Let us rejoice in the Lord's faithfulness and the air we breather every day! Praise our might God!

Nancy Palmer Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 When God alone is ascribed with the attributes of ultimate glory and strength, it is an acknowledgment that He (the one true God) is the fount of all glory and strength. There is no other true source of glory and strength except that which comes from Him. While there are false gods for sure that offer momentary glory and strength, no false god can provide these attributes in enduring abundance. As the one true God with all others being false, only to Him are all blessings due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillsey1 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ascribe- meaning referring to a supposed cause or author (by Webster's dictionary online) We are rightfully giving God praise due to his name and the power and worthyness he is. God is almighty, its in our nature it is embedded in us to worship him. this is the proof to those who do not believe, we were made and created to worship and love God. He is our author and we are worshiping him with our everything. We cannot lean on our own understanding, but God's alone, and through that his strength and glory will be known. We will end up in our own power, which is not much and our own strength which is also not much, There is free will, and God has granted us that however, when we do things on our own, it may seem good at first, or even for a long time, but there is still a void in the inner most core being of that person, that something is missing, and they will strive until they can fulfill it. Unfortunately they cannot fulfill it themselves, so the vicious cycle continues, and they will never be satisfied. God is the one that fulfills our cups with overflowing grace and love. The praise to God is fitting to those who are willing and ready. Those who are upright and honest. Those who's hearts are ready to change and live for him alone. Worthy is what God is, and once we are fit to worship him God's worthyness will be known through our worship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royk Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? Ascribe to God gives Him the glory and adoration he deserves. We see every day God`s glory when the sun comes up, we see the creation all over the world and the power of nature and natural events we take for granted. We mjust not forget to ascribe and worship and adore the Lord realizing that He has done great things so we can be alive every day. He created us and deserves our complete obedience for His power and wisdom in nature. We must glorify Him and His name as He is all powerful. We acknowledge He is far greater than all things we can see or imagine. If is foolishness to fail to ascribe such quality to Him and he is sad, perhaps even heartbroken that we could say we love him and not Ascribe to him our Great Giver of life.

AKSquires Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? To ascribe to God attributes of glory and strength is to give Him the praise and recognition for His glory and strength and all things that go with it. Forgetting to attribute these things or failing means that we can forget about God and His power to work miracles and wonders. It puts Him in a box for us where He can not work like He may want to. It is fitting and worthy as we remember our place that God gave to us. We are reminded of our tasks at hand because the praise we need to give Him is vital for us to understand Him. Also it helps us to connect on a deeper level with Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glo Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? To ascribe to God attributes means to be completely convinced of God's glory and strength and to fully believed that we can testify to it to others. When we fail to ascribe to these qualities then we can't share effectively with others. God is so much above who and what we are he is responsible for all creation; he is so great and we are so weak that it is the only "right" thing to do is to worship him.

What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? Q2. (psalm 96) Through praise we can learn and solidify in our minds exactly what it is that God has revealed himself to be. When we don't ascribe the qualities we aren't really aware of who God is, and we aren't teaching the revealed God. God is the best, I am glad to know that.

What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? Ascribing means crediting God with the glory and strength that already belongs to Him. If I fail to acknowledge these qualities in Him, I cannot experience the fullness of joy in Him. I am very likely trying to control my own life. Praise is "fitting" because He is the righteous judge and the whole earth praises Him. I can't find the Scripture right now, but I am reminded that I don't remember to praise Him the rocks will cry out. He deserves our praise. My Creator God is worthy of all my praise.

God is not pleased when we do not give/render unto Him what is due Him. Praise to God is "fitting" and "worthy". What Father doesn't want his children to Thank him?

JanMary Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Q2. (Psalm 96) What does it mean to "ascribe" to God attributes of glory and strength? It means to acknowledge and render to God, Who His is, and Who His Word says He is. It means I'm in agreement with Him that He is all glorious and Omnipotent! What happens when we fail to ascribe such qualities to him? Then the tendency is to elevate ourselves and minimize Who He is, in our minds eye. Our problems then seem insurmountable and He seems diminished and impotent. Faith weakens. Then we feel abandoned and try to figure out the solution on our own. It's a downward spiral, and one that I'm certain pleases God's enemy and ours! We were created to Praise and worship. When I fail to praise Him, I'm not fully functioning as a human being and as His redeemed child. In what sense is praise to God "fitting" or "worthy"? It's fitting because He is the ONLY one worthy of praise! He alone is Almighty God, Creator of all that exists, Savior of my soul, the giver of life, the Holy One!!! To give Him less than praise and worship is to think too highly of myself., and dishonors Him as my Lord and master. A devotion I read this morning talked about how the cursing and abuse of His holy name, so prevalent in the world, hurts Him. But when a child of God speaks the name of "Jesus", it brings Him joy. If just speaking His name delights Him, then how much more, my praise and worship delights His heart! Amazing to think that we can actually bless Him!

jesus Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Ascribing God the attributes of glory and strength means we give Him all the glory for who He is,and for everything He has done in our lives. We acnknowledge Him as our great God and admit to Him that He is our Maker and Creator. By giving the glory we remain humble before him as He is our God and we are his creation. He gets all the glory form our lives. We are nothing without Him ,but only through him we are everything. God becomes supreme. He increases and we decrease in His awesome presence. By giving Him all the glory and strength we express our humility. God is a God and he gets all the glory! When we fail to ascribe such qualities to Him,we do not give him the glory. We are proud and haughty in our own eyes. We do not give him the honor and glory he deserves. We do not give Him the place He deserves in our lives. God is a God who deserves to be praised and glorifeid. It is fitting to praise Him because He is our maker and Creator. He is our everything. He is author of our lives. He has wonderfully made us for a purpose here on earth. As long as we have breath we need to praise Him. He is our mighty God and he deserves our praises at all times God dwells in the praises of his people. Just as a parent would love to hear the loving voice of her child,God waits to hear our praises. We enthrone him as our God by praising Him. For all that He has done for us we can return back by singing praises to HIm. It is therefore worthy and fitting to praise God at all times.
