Glory of The King

Has anyone ever told you, “be careful what you ask for”? You know, of course, it’s the wishin’ season? Many little boys and girls (big boys and girls) have already made their wish-lists. Those otherwise wonderful “wishes” have a distinct way of leading to the what-was-I-thinkin’ season!

Consider with me what else was revealed in Bethlehem those many years ago. For sure, it was God’s greatest perfection, His love to man -- bursting in God’s Glory! My Pastor read this Scripture on Sunday, “And blessed be His glorious Name forever: and let the whole earth be filled with His glory; Amen, and Amen.” (Psalm 72:19). The psalmist seems overcome with prophecy and promise of The Messiah! Can we really comprehend that God, Who does all things wondrously, chose man in whom to manifest His Glory! Would we, like Moses, say to Almighty God: “Please, show me Your Glory.” (Exodus 33:18). Is it possible, like Mary, we rejoice so deeply “my soul magnifies the Lord.” (Luke 1:46). Can our voices blend with the heavenly multitude, “Glory to God in the highest.” (Luke 2:14). Such glory is not contained but rather exclaimed and proclaimed; not in a one-event occasion but an anthem of daily praise. Dare we ask for a new and fresh revelation of the Glory of The King? Oh, yes, but be careful what you ask for – you just might break out into something … totally glorious!
