[Let] every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. – Philippians 2:11

Where do you witness the glory of God? The current culture of self-exaltation is designed to discourage you from seeing His beauty. Instead, it encourages you to be the focus of your story. However, the Bible highlights that everything God does, from creation to Earth’s final restoration, including His relationship with you, reveals His love and splendor. When you encounter God, you are invited to participate in the celebration and praise of His worthiness.  

You discover God’s glory throughout the history of humankind. In His great love, He chose a people for Himself before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-6). For the sake of His Holy name, God rescued His ancient people, Israel, to bring salvation to Earth (Ezekiel 36:22-25). Jesus came to Earth not seeking His own acclaim but to glorify His Father in all He did (John 7:16-18).   

Your sin is forgiven because God is good, not because of your efforts (Isaiah 43:25). At the restoration of all things, there will be no need for sun or moon because God’s glory is so magnificent it will radiate light (Revelation 21:23). In the meantime, you are to receive others gladly into the fellowship of Christ, together giving God the praise (Romans 15:7).  

Seek to glorify God through Jesus Christ and avoid the deception of the self-absorbed world. Invite all you know to discover His love for themselves, which frees people from the hopeless dead-end of self-exaltation. Intercede for the candidates for elected office to open their hearts to God’s love and grace. Pray for the next generation to see the Lord’s glory and give Him praise, bringing blessing to the nation.
