God's Glory

Have you ever watched the show “Hoarders?”  Oh my!  I’ve seen it only a few times and it was enough!  The amount of stuff packed-and-stacked was unbelievable.  My friend DeeDee said when she watched the show, it made her feel so much better about the clutter in her house. I agree!

 

Have you ever asked God to show you His Glory?  Moses did: “I pray You, show me Your glory!” (Exodus 33:18), and God did just that!  Jesus came to earth in the flesh to be God’s Salvation of man, and [in the process] revealed glorious things about The Father.  John 1:14 says, "“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His Glory, Glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." The multitude of heavenly host got straight to what they had to say about Bethlehem's Babe: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men." (Luke 2:14).  Piper writes, "God is passionate about God's Glory."  The angels were passionate about God’s Glory and so is God Himself passionate about His Glory. It pleases Him to reveal-share the fullness of Himself with those who genuinely love Him and diligently seek Him; we do this not by a casual but rather a personal intimate relationship with God’s Son, Jesus Christ.  It seems the nature of hoarders to collect stuff for themselves, sharing with no one.  In contrast, the fullness of God's Glory - Jesus Christ, full of grace and truth - has been made known to men.  To God be the Glory, great things He has done!  O, come let us adore Him!
