Glorified By His Glory - Friday April
11th, 2014 - Pastor Chris
All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered
together unto thee, the rams of
Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they
shall come up with acceptance on mine
altar, and I will glorify the house of my
glory (Isaiah 60:7).
God's glory changes constantly and
continuously on His throne. The angelic
beings see His glory and bow in
worship. By the time they raise their
heads, the glory has changed, and they
bow again; this continues throughout
eternity. "And all the angels stood
round about the throne, and about the
elders and the four beasts, and fell
before the throne on their faces, and
worshipped God, Saying, Amen:
Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and
thanksgiving, and honour, and power,
and might, be unto our God for ever
and ever. Amen" (Revelation 7:11-12).
Something beautiful happens when we
behold the glory of God and worship
Him. The more of His glory we see, the
more glorious we become; the more
we're beautified by His glory, and we
can't but glorify Him again. "But we all,
with open face beholding as in a glass
the glory of the Lord, are changed into
the same image from glory to glory,
even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2
Corinthians 3:18). Through worship,
our spiritual eyes are opened to behold
the glory of God. Incidentally, when we
see His glory, we see our glory.
That's why God tells us to worship
Him; it's so we can behold His glory
and be glorified. You can expect
miracles when you worship Him
because, then, your eyes are opened
to see what you'd never have seen any
other way. You forget about yourself
and focus on the only one who
matters.
Some people think angels know
everything about God, but that's not
true. According to Ephesians 3:10,
they're still trying to figure Him out.
"To the intent that now unto the
principalities and powers in heavenly
places might be known by the church
the manifold wisdom of God." You're
the glory of God, and He demonstrates
His manifold wisdom to angelic beings
through you!
CONFESSION:
I was born for the glory of God and my
life is glorified by His Word. Sickness,
disease, infirmity, and failure have no
place in me because, as He is, so am I
in this world!
Further Study: 1 John 4:17: Herein is
our love made perfect, that we may
have boldness in the day of judgment:
because as he is, so are we in this
world.
Romans 8:30: Moreover whom he did
predestinate, them he also called: and
whom he called, them he also justified:
and whom he justified, them he also
glorified.
