Shalom,
In Psalm 148 we see that the Heavens praise the LORD (verses 1-6); the Earth praises the LORD (verses 7-13); and the people praise the LORD (verse 14)! Look at verses 11-12:
11 Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all rulers and judges of the earth! 12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children!
THAT doesn't leave anyone out! What are they supposed to do, and why? Verses 13-14:
13 Let them praise and exalt the Name of the LORD, for His Name alone is exalted and supreme! His glory and majesty are above earth and heaven! 14 He has lifted up a horn for His people [giving them power, prosperity, dignity, and preeminence], a song of praise for all His godly ones, for the people of Israel, who are near to Him. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
AMEN!
Revelation 4 is all about the throne of God! It is mentioned 14 times in this chapter alone! When we realize that the One, True God IS the very center of all that is, then we will be more inclined to give Him His proper place in our own lives! Verse 11:
11 Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and dominion, for You created all things; by Your will they were [brought into being] and were created.
"Worthy" is the Greek word "axios", which means: deserving, comparable, or suitable; due reward; of one who has merited something. He most definitely IS "worthy"!
Jeremiah 32-33 are speaking about the restoration of the nation and the land of Israel after the exile. Jeremiah 32:17:
17 Alas, LORD God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You --
And verse 27:
27 Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?
NOTHING is too difficult for our GOD! Amen! Here is an old song being sung by children: "Ah Lord God":
Then Jeremiah 33:3:
3 Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).
Is there something that you need to know? ASK HIM! Then LISTEN and OBEY!
Shalom in Him!
