The Glory of God

I was sitting outside today and looking at the amazing blueness of the sky when a Bible verse came to me.  From Psalm 19:1, “The Heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”  It made me think about all the things you see in the sky that God created: clouds, sun, stars, birds, moon, and so much more!  So my mind explored a little further and I wondered ‘What is God’s glory?’  (A million dollar question to be sure.)  From Exodus 33:18-19 “Then Moses said, ‘Now show me your glory.’  And the Lord said, ‘I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. ‘”

Exploring the phrase ‘all my goodness,’ seems beyond human comprehension.  However, wouldn’t it be fun to challenge ourselves to look for God’s goodness in each and every day?  It’s there, you know, just waiting for someone who’s willing to take the time to see it.  Here’s a few I’ve seen just this morning: food in my cupboards, a roof over my head, a stunning sunrise, birds flying back and forth talking to their mates, the smile of a little boy, the gentle breeze that stirs my wind chimes, the peace that permeates the room, joy that bubbles from deep within, God’s word that speaks to me, the thought of friends near and far, my family who is healthy and well…the list goes on and on.

So here’s the challenge: take a week and seek diligently all the ways you can see the glory of God in each day.  And as you see Him, and you certainly will, give Him thanks.  Philippians 4:20 “To our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
