Thursday Reflection by Pastor Cleomar F. Tupas
“TO HIM BE GLORY FOREVER”
"For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen."
Romans 11:36
God has a purpose for you: to glorify & worship him and enjoy him forever.
God calls us to glorify him with all of our lives, not just what we do on Sundays or in our devotions.
“To Him be glory forever.” This should be the single desire of the Christian. All other wishes must be subservient and serve as tributaries to this.
We still have to figure out how to “do everything for the glory of God.” But I find this truth helpful.
Glorifying God isn’t something we do some of the time, on Sundays or when we have devotions. It’s something we’re supposed to do all the time — when we eat, drink, sleep, work, play, and rest.
We can only glorify God this way when we change from the old way of living for ourselves and instead trust in what Jesus has done for us.
God promises to make us new and give us the ability to please him in every area of our lives.
When we remove ourselves from the throne of our own hearts, we are set free to magnify Jesus.
It’s when we set our eyes on our Savior King that we are freed from the weights and pressures that come from living selfishly. And in this freedom, we find the life we were always meant for—a life of continual, incredibly satisfying worship.
If you have an opportunity to give God glory today and lead others to do the same. You have an opportunity to live with your eyes set on heaven and experience the abundant life that’s already available to you.
Choose today to place God on the throne of your heart and live a lifestyle of worshipping your worthy, King. “To Him be glory forever.”
