His Glory
1 Chronicles 16:24-25
24 Tell of His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;
He also is to be feared above all gods.
Words escape me when I try to explain how God has moved mountains in our life. I remember not to long ago sitting with some of the most wonderful women talking over Exodus 14, when God says he hardened Pharaoh’s heart against the Israelites so that HIS GLORY is on display…
Ex. 14:3-4 MSG: “Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are lost; they’re confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.’ Then I’ll make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn again and he’ll chase after them. And I’ll use Pharaoh and his army to put my Glory on display. Then the Egyptians will realize that I am God.”
We need to realize its not about us, but about him. Moses was not glorified, Pharaoh was not glorified, But it was GOD that was going to be glorified… and to show just some of his power he split a body of water so that the Israelites got to safety. Of course even as much as God provided, saved, protected, loved the Israelites they still complained.. Thats a whole different blog =)
My point in writing all this is that I want to testify in how great GOD is! I want all glory to go to him as I testify about his wonderful love…
Josh and I have been pushed as a couple and individually this summer. In every trial and circumstance God was there providing. We remained faithful and putting God first… and every step we took he was already there. He has met and is meeting our needs.
Josh has a full time job now, close to our apartment. Full Benefits. Good pay. Not only did he receive this job, but he was employed at two part time jobs when he was hired at this one. So 3 jobs, 3 , when the jobs in our country are scarce…the fact that he had 3 at one time, just makes me sit in amazement at our God.
ALL the GLORY goest to HIM! So how can I NOT share of his goodness??
Everyday he is doing something in our lives, everyday he lets us wake up, everyday he supplies our needs, everyday he is there! I pray that God would show me him, not to let any opportunity slip by with out me being able to give him all the GLORY!
Focus on him, get out the word of God and just let it pour in. There were times when anxiousness was almost consuming me, so I started just reciting scripture. It is the word of God and so powerful, its a gift from God to us… treasure it. Let it build you up. the Holy Spirit will just pour into you.
My cup overflows…
