Give God the Glory!

 

No matter where we live, we all seem to have a different perspective of the world around us. There are many places in which one see everything around them as dirty and worn out even while others will see the same places as places of vast opportunities to serve God, His people, and His whole creation.

There are other places where one will just be amazed at God's beautiful creation. I have heard many times in the last few weeks from people who have been outside at night and have just been in awe over the brilliance of the stars. While they may experience the awesome wonder in God's creation, others may experience this very same sky with a feeling of emptiness and aloneness.

What we see around us, is a matter of perspective. It is a perspective that comes from where we've been, where we are, and where we're headed. 

For those who dwell in the presence of God, we are most blessed because we can most often see the glory of His whole creation: the world and all that is in it; including all who live in it (Psalm 24:1)

"Lift up your heads, O gates!
    and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
    that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord of hosts,
    he is the King of glory. Selah"
                                Psalm 24:9-10

It really doesn't matter how we presently see things; it all belongs to God. Give Him the glory!
