The Glory of God

Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said: “Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever. Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as head over all. Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; in Your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all.”

- 1 Chronicles 29:10-12, NKJV

There is something about exalting the glory of God that puts everything in perspective. When you lift your hands in surrender to Him…when you willingly give Him your heart…when you stop and stand in awe at His glory, you quickly realize that He has your whole world in His hands. The world believes things revolve around them and their actions; however, Christians believe in the sovereignty of the Lord…understanding that it is all about Him and His will. This stark contrast allows those in Christ to focus on the things of Christ knowing that God’s grace will extend upon them, their situations, and everything in between and that He will ultimately provide all things. When you work for God’s glory and not the world’s you are afforded the riches of the Kingdom and provided the strength of the Lord’s hand. Your path will always be illuminated as long as you walk under His direction. These are the benefits of the glory of God. Unfortunately the allure of the world is real and ever present. You must choose between carnal riches that are here and now, but fleeting and the everlasting love from above that saves and provides eternal life. Today, praise the Lord for all His glory and know that He has established this day to exhibit His grace and mercy through you.

BE BLESSED!
