Give Glory to God 

   “Be exalted above the heavens, God.  And may your glory be above all the earth.” (Ps 108: 5) 

   There is only one certainty in life; God loves me.  Everything else is transitory, even those things we think will last forever.

   It sometimes takes despair and even hopelessness to realize that God is all that is really important in life.  No matter the circumstance, no matter the situation He is there.

   At times it’s easy to forget these facts.  When things are going well and there are no crises that need to be dealt with we can just drift along in complacency, never expecting the good times to end.  And yet, they do.  One day all is great and the next day tragedy may strike.

   Giving glory to God, whether in good times or bad, is what will keep us on an even keel, able to deal with the disappointments that will surely come.  When we place all our concerns and faith in Him we realize that no matter what happens we are safe within His arms.

   Life is a funny thing is some ways.  We may live to old age, or we may die tomorrow, we have no way of knowing.  Life offers many opportunities and also many challenges.  It takes turning to the Lord to make best use of the opportunities and to overcome the challenges.

   In God is our hope, in Him is our promise.  In all things give Him glory. 

Glory to You Lord.

All glory is Yours. 

Amen
