His Glory Is Ours

Posted on November 2, 2020 by Marie

For the very glory You have given to Me I have given them so that they will be joined together as one and experience the same unity that we enjoy. You live fully in Me and now I live fully in them so that they will experience perfect unity, and the world will be convinced that You have sent Me, for they will see that You love each one of them with the same passionate love that you have for Me. John 17:22-23 TPT

I have given them the glory that you gave Me, that they be one as We are one – – I in them and You in Me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that You sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me. John 17:22-23 NIV

I read these words and thought of how divided this world is and that it does not need to be so. There are some very powerful truths in God’s Word. If we are claiming to be God’s children then every verse, every word, every breath, of the Bible is ours to claim. With that thought in mind take a look at what He’s given us:

Jesus gives us God’s Glory! Wow! Phill Tripp says this about God’s Glory – the glory of God isn’t defined in his Word; no, his glory is so grand that it splashes across every page of his book. And, the doctrine of God’s glory encompasses the greatness, beauty, and perfection of all that he is.
We are one (unified) because of His glory in us.
Jesus was talking about the rift between the Jews and His followers. He came to seek and save the lost no matter what their denomination.
Jesus wants us to know how much we are loved by showing us that the relationship between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is ours.

We are unified because Christ lives in us. That ‘connection’ is unbreakable when we ask forgiveness for our sins and believe that Jesus is the One and Only Son of God and our personal Savior.

DO YOU?

THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING THE GLORY OF GOD

I got up early this morning to watch the sun rise in the mountains. I like to dothis anywhere I am, at home or traveling. I am never disappointed! First there was haze but I could see the closest trees. The sound of crickets and tree frogs provided a background for what was to come. Gradually the sky got lighter, the cardinals, crows, blue jays, eagles, and other birds began a chorus of praise that set a tone of excitement. It seemed the trees got greener as the skies got bluer. Dogs were barking in the distance that got other dogs barking. Probably, because they had seen a deer…rabbit…bear…but still, an interesting layer to this symphony of praise. As the sun began to rise its rays fell on a distant mountain and slowly and highlighted in the light of a new day.

These precious moments are a reminder to me to slow down, watch, wait and savor the beauty of all that is around me. This incredible picture occurs everywhere and is a gift to me (us) from the One and Only who wants me to wake up each morning praising Him and enjoying what He is going to provide for me that day. God is so good!!!!

Heavenly Father, I give You all praise, honor, and glory. You have created beauty all around me. You alone created the earth and all that is in it. What an awesome and mighty God.

God’s Glory

2 Cor. 3:16 I have always been under the assumption that I would see God’s Glory in heaven when I would “see Him as He is” (1 John 3:2). We see Him before that if we take the time to look. When we come to know Jesus He lifts the veil over God’s Glory and allows us to see it…In the one who has lost a loved one and is able to “show” God through the pain…In the one who has survived a life threatening illness and is able to tell others that God kept the fear away and allowed her to rejoice in His Power and Provision…In the parent whose child has made poor choices and as in Luke 15:11-31 waits with open arms to welcome them home…The Glory of our Lord is all around us. We need only look and listen to the stories of the People.
