Your Glory-Part 1
Dear Champions,
The short excerpt is by Tim Andy Stanley, and the scripture is Psalm 19:1-4 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
You were created to reflect the image and the glory of God. Your glory is really too small for you to give your life to and live for. Everybody lives for somebody's glory. Probably in your life no one has ever challenged you to decide whose glory that you're going to live for, so consequently guess whose glory you live for?
Living for your glory is too small a thing. I don't care what you do and how much money you make and how cute your wife is and how cool your stuff is and how smart your kids are. To become absorbed with you're glory makes you small. Ultimately it makes you insignificant because you weren't created for your glory. You can never amass enough glory to fill you up, and when you become a glory hog you become less content, more unhappy, and more undesirable to be with. You were made for something more, and you have been invited to something much bigger, grander and more glorious.
Champions, have a great week!-David Vining
