His Glory

Let’s look at John 17:10 in the NLT together, Jesus says, “All who are mine belong to you, and you have given them to me, so they bring me glory”. As Jesus prays to the Father right before He is betrayed, He mentions that we bring Him glory.

This verse resounded with me this morning as I was reading about Joseph. After he was betrayed by his brothers, when he was falsely accused, and forgotten in prison; Joseph on two occasions when approached to interpret dreams, gives God the credit with his first words, prior to any interpretation. I love that he very quickly ensured that those around him knew who he got his wisdom from. So much so that Pharaoh recognizes this and says, “Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the Spirit of God?”

What a blessing to be used by God, it’s amazing that God would use us imperfect earthen vessels to pour into, so we can pour out to a lost and dying world. Whenever you get the opportunity, there are many things in your life on a daily basis that you can use to give God glory, the credit for all He is doing, and acknowledging His handiwork in your life. David says it best in Psalm 29, “Give unto the Lord, O you mighty ones, Give unto the Lord glory and strength. Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name; Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness”.

Amen!!!!
