For my glory.
Psalm 29:2
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.
Glory. It means “very great praise, honor, or distinction, renown.” To give God the glory due His name is more than simply saying, “Oh, thanks God. I really appreciate this or that or how you [fill in the blank].” To give God the glory due His name is an act of worship to the Lord in light of the splendor of His holiness.
Giving God glory must be intentional, reverent, purposeful, and authentic. In a humble position, bowed before the King of Kings, we posture ourselves both to worship and be used. In hands outstretched, prepared to receive His works and plan, His forgiveness and grace, His mercy and love, we offer holy praise unto His name for all of it.
What a beautiful story of the Gift-giver giving us the ability to gift it again.
Reflection Questions
- Have you receive the gifts God has given you?
- What are you doing to treasure them this Christmas time?
- How can you gift give back to Him?
- How can the overflow of these gifts touch others, today, practically and purposefully?
