God’s Glory

For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. Isaiah 45:18 KJV

For His magnificence, His richness, the thickness of His power he is deserving of my worship and my adoration. He is God, and I exalt him.

He made man from dirt, and sculpted the woman from a bone. He designed us with perfection in mind; with a breath, life was created. Our life continues because of his air; we are examples of his power. What he has constructed is grand; the sun, the moon, the stars, the waters, and the land. His glory is divine. The day brings light and without hesitation night arrives at its appointed time. The power of God is at work each day and it goes unnoticed at times. The grass grows in spring and flowers bloom. The leaves of the trees lend shade and a colorful back ground before they fade. The snow falls and it melts. The rain feeds the land and we are provided with food. The sun supports life of living things. His glory surrounds us every day. The heavens he has waiting for us to occupy; a majestic place where all is excellent. The streets are radiant and filled with mansions that beam because of his light. When we arrive to that place will be able to praise him without interruption. We will not get tired, our voice will always be strong, and we will not have the cares of the world in our thoughts. We will have all the strength and help we need. Peace and joy will be among us all. We will be free to worship him always.

He is a magnificent God and I love to be in awe because of him.

Faith

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.  1 Corinthians 3.7

Faith

Down on the ground

Lying there

Weak,

Nothing can be gained.

It’s on the ground

Not planted.

Raise it up!

Let its roots grow deep.

Nurture it with all your goodness.

Make it strong with your water.

Put it to work so that I can have it.

Let it bring patience my way.

It will then grow and be lifted up from the ground.

All will be gained and I’ll never be the same.

It is down on the ground only to be nourished.

To grow, because of what you have done.

Let it work and be multiplied.
