19 Yet a little time and the world will see me no longer, but you will see me; because I live, you also will live. 20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. 21 The one who has my commandments and keeps them—that one is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal myself to him.”
John 1
14 Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers, for what participation is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? 15 And what agreement does Christ have with Beliar? Or what share does a believer have with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does the temple of God have with idols? For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, “I will live in them and will walk about among them, and I will be their God and they will be my people.” 17 Therefore “come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord, “and do not touch what is unclean, and I will welcome you, 18 and I will be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me,” says the all-powerful Lord.
2 Corinthians 14-18

21 “Indeed, his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his steps. 22 There is no darkness, and there is no deep shadow where instigators of mischief might hide themselves. 23 Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man to go to God in the judgment.
Job 34:21-
13 The fear of Yahweh is hatred of evil, pride, and arrogance and an evil way. And I hate a mouth of perversity.
Proverbs 8
3 In every place, the eyes of Yahweh keep watch over the evil and the good.
Proverbs 15:
HALLOWED BE THY NAME -----------------ADORATION
Adoration is intense admiration culminating in reverence and worship, together with the outward acts and attitudes which accompany such reverence. It thus includes both the subjective sentiments, or feelings of the soul, in the presence of some superior object or person, and the appropriate physical expressions of such sentiments in outward acts of homage or of worship. In its widest \
sense it includes reverence to beings other than God, especially to monarchs, who in oriental countries were regarded with feelings of awe. But it finds its highest expression in religion.
Adoration is perhaps the highest type of worship, involving the reverent and rapt contemplation of the divine perfections and prerogatives, the acknowledgment of them in words of praise, together with the visible symbols and postures that express the adoring attitude of the creature in the presence of his Creator. It is the expression of the soul’s mystical realization of God’s presence in His transcendent greatness, holiness, and lovingkindness. As a form of prayer, adoration is to be distinguished from other forms, such as petition, thanksgiving, confession, and intercession.
II. Outward Postures
In the OT and NT, these are similar to those which prevailed in all oriental countries, as amply illustrated by the monuments of Egypt and Assyria, and by the customs still in use among the nations of the East. The chief attitudes referred to in the Bible are the following:
A. Prostration Among the Orientals, especially Persians, prostration (i.e., falling upon the knees, then gradually inclining the body, until the forehead touched the ground) was common as an expression of profound reverence and humility before a superior or a benefactor. It was practiced in the worship of Yahweh (; ; , Jesus in Gethsemane; ), and of idols (; Dnl. 3:5f), but was by no means confined to religious exercises. It was the formal method of supplicating or doing obeisance to a superior (e.g., ; ; ; ; ).
B. Kneeling A substitution for prostration was kneeling, a common attitude in worship, frequently mentioned in the OT and NT (e.g., ; ; ; ; , Jesus in Gethsemane; ; ). The same attitude was sometimes adopted in paying homage to a fellow creature, as in . “Sitting” as an attitude of prayer (only ; ) was probably a form of kneeling, as in Moslem worship.
C. Standing This was the usual posture in prayer, like that of modern Jews in public worship. Abraham “stood before the Lord” when he interceded for Sodom (). Cf. . The Pharisee in the parable “stood and prayed” (), and the hypocrites are said to “pray standing in the synagogues, and in the corners of the streets” ().
D. The Hands These postures were accompanied by various attitudes of the hands, which were either lifted up toward heaven (; ) or outspread (; ; ), or both ().
E. Kiss of Adoration The heathen practice of kissing hands to the heavenly bodies as a sign of adoration is referred to in , and of kissing the idol in ; . The kiss of homage is mentioned in , if the text there is correct. Kissing hands to the object of adoration was customary among the Romans (Pliny Nat. hist. xxviii.5 [25]). The NT word for “worship” (GK. proskynéō) means literally “kiss before.” See also Postures.[1]

Psalm 8
1 Yahweh, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth, who put your splendor above the heavens.
5 How great are your deeds, O Yahweh; how very deep are your thoughts. 6 The brutish man does not know, and the fool cannot understand this. 7 When the wicked flourish like grass and all the workers of evil blossom, it is so they can be destroyed forever. 8 But you are on high forever, O Yahweh.
Luke 1:46-50
46 And Mary said, “My soul exalts the Lord, 47 and my spirit has rejoiced greatly in God my Savior, 48 because he has looked upon the humble state of his female slave, for behold, from now on all generations will consider me blessed, 49 because the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is for generation after generation to those who fear him.
