Who can speak of the Glory of God? I find myself struggling to put together the words which adequately describe Your awesomeness, holiness and magnificence. The description I search for is best spoken by the heavens with its immenseness, power and beauty. I see Your Glory with my own eyes as the sun rises in the morning and then dominates the day as it crosses the sky. With great excitement, I feel its warmth and I am able to see the beautiful tapestry of life that You have created. As I gaze out upon the oceans and mountains, I hear them singing to You with praises of joy. When I try to fathom the depth of Your Glory, my soul immediately begins to magnify Your name and my heart is filled with love for You. As surely as the rain satisfies the thirst of the earth, so does Your goodness satisfy my longings for You. It is Your inexhaustible love that motivates me to grow and mature.
In Your Great Glory, You exercise and display all of the things that constitute excellence. In Your purity, You are immune to sin, selfishness, lust and jealousy. It is the reason I cry Holy, Holy is the Lord. And the awesomeness of Your wisdom is too vast for me to comprehend. For You framed the Universe and developed a master plan to sustain it. Your Power cannot be measured or matched on any scale. And no other force can withstand it. The ocean of Love and Compassion which reside in You compelled You to send Your only Son as a perfect sacrifice for sin when it was evident that man was powerless to do anything to save himself. Your Glory is like a crown setting You apart for reverence, veneration, worship and respect. In honor and respect, I humbly bow down and submit to Your Kingship.
Each day I sense Your Glory all around me … in the things I see, in the explosion of emotions I feel and the spiritual revitalization I experience in my heart when I pray or meditate or study Your Word. To sit in the warm glow of Your Glory is sweeter than honey and more valuable than gold. The brilliance of Your Glory shines brightly into my life each day guiding me and helping me see clearly the choices that lead to blessings and prosperity. When I stand before Your Glory, my fears are put to flight … my burdens become lighter … my spirit feels free and unencumbered … and, my heart and soul want to jump for joy and sing out Your praises. As I contemplate Your Glory, I better understand how David felt when he said “Who is the King of Glory? He is the Lord God strong and mighty. Who is the King of Glory? He is the Lord God Almighty.” And it’s in Jesus’ name I pray. AMEN!!
