Wednesday Thought -- November 14, 2012


Good Morning Friends,

“Not to us, O LORD, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.” (Psalm 115:1)

For generations people have tried to take the glory for themselves as though they deserve it.  It’s their good looks that draws the attention of others to them.  It’s their intelligence that landed them the good job they have.  It’s their money that enables them to buy such great things and do such good things for others.  It’s their time they give to serve others.

But who really does deserve the glory?  Who gave the actress the looks she has?  Who provided the intelligence to land the job?  Where does your money come from?  Who has ordered time and given it to us?

God did all that, and more.  What we have is only what we have been given by God.

The glory doesn’t belong us, not even for the things we do.  The glory belongs to Him.  Don’t take for yourself what belongs to God!

Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to Your name be the glory!

His, by Grace,

Steve
