Passion for God’s Glory
Introduction
My prayer is that this book will help us all understand God
deeper and love Him more so that, above all else, we will
have a passion for His glory.
My concern over the years has been that, as we focus our
teaching on how Jesus loves us, we risk insulting God. How?
By making Him sound like a loving old grandfather that will
do whatever He can to make us happy and keep us contented.
This is not the case, however.
While He does love us as stated in verses like John 3:16, we
must remember:
He is God.
He is in control.
He is everlasting.
He is all powerful.
He is self-sufficient.
He does not need us.
He is worshiped.
He is adored.
He is righteous.
He is holy.
He is magnificent.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 2
He is jealous.
He is sovereign.
He is not to be taken for granted.
He is to be feared.
While God loves us, there is so much more to Him. Scripture
talks about how God does things for His glory. Yes, God
loves us; however, what He does is for His glory.
He uses salvation for His glory.
He uses judgment for His glory.
The Bible says He even created evil people for the day
of trouble where He will show His glory.
Proverbs 16:4 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
even the wicked for the day of trouble.
Jesus always said, “For the glory of God.” His whole purpose
was for God’s glory.
Yes, people were healed. Yes, lives were changed. However,
that does not change the fact that Jesus was here for God’s
glory.
Salvation is not for us to feel like God is our best friend and
will do anything for us. The main purpose of salvation is for
God and His glory. Let us not be fooled, God shows His
glory in both the good and the evil that occurs. Salvation is
another way for that glory to be shown.
Please understand that I am not trying to belittle salvation. I
am just saying salvation is a part of what God uses for His
glory. God is far greater than just salvation.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 3
In short, I am saying that we need to see God for who He is
and develop a healthy fear of Him and respect for Him. I am
afraid that we have made a politically correct “god of love”
for a world of narcissists. I have no doubt this angers God.
We have reduced Him to our level and in the process we have
insulted and angered Him by not acknowledging His glory.
My prayer is that this book will help us to search our hearts
and once again find the great glory of God.
So, what is God’s glory?
A harder question has never been asked. It is something no
man this side of heaven will ever be able to answer fully. We
can, though, answer a good part of that question.
Moses said, “Show me your glory, God.” So what did God
show him? God said, “I will show you my goodness,”
Exodus 33:18. Now, God didn’t say that goodness was all of
His glory. He was saying, “I will show my goodness as a part
of my glory.” Moses had no idea just how big his request was
of such an immense God.
So, what is God’s glory?
His righteousness in all things.
His holiness in all things.
His goodness in all things.
His majesty in all things.
His love in all things.
His truth in all things.
The list about His glory goes on and on, but most important is
His Sovereignty in all universes and dimensions and beyond.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 4
This is one reason God does not conform to our moral code
and thinking: His glory extends far beyond earth.
As we read this, may we search our hearts to see what
motivates us. I pray we will learn and see that all we need in
this life is to seek God’s glory.
Needs and wants have different meanings to each of us. I
contend that if you are a pastor, you do not need buildings.
You need only passion for God’s glory. You do not need
programs; you need only passion for God’s glory.
Jesus had no buildings and yet He turned the world upside
down because He had passion for God’s glory. Ministry tools
can be a blessing from God or they can be a curse if we do
not seek His glory. (A curse is anything that keeps us from
seeing and following God’s true glory.)
God’s glory does not go forth because of man-made things.
God’s glory goes forth because God says so.
As one pastor said, we do not need buildings and things to
proclaim God’s glory – that can be done with or without
dedicated buildings. We need people willing to proclaim His
glory in the streets and parks and houses.
May we search our hearts and see if we really have a passion
for God’s true glory.

Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 1
Isaiah 42:8 I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give
to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.
Exodus 24:17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord
was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the
sight of the people of Israel.
Exodus 40:34-35 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting,
and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle. And Moses
was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud
settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
Psalm 97:1-9 The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the
many coastlands be glad! Clouds and thick darkness are all
around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of
his throne. Fire goes before him and burns up his adversaries
all around. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees
and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,
before the Lord of all the earth . . .
Psalm 24:7-8 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up,
O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is
this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord,
mighty in battle!
Isaiah 6:1-4 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the
Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train
of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim.
Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 6
two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called
to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!” And the foundations of
the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the
house was filled with smoke.
Are these passages describing a loving, doddering, old
grandfather? No, they describe a God that will be feared and
respected for His glory!
As we go through this book we will realize different things
about His glory and I know, in the end, it will be an eye
opening comfort to us all.
First, let me address any thoughts that I am talking about the
God of the Old Testament before grace on the cross. Bear
with me as I set the stage from the Bible. We will see that the
God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New
Testament. He has not relinquished His glory in any way in
the New Testament. But, for this chapter, let’s stay with the
Old Testament.
We must remember that in the Old Testament we get a rare
view into who God is. Why, you ask? Because people did not
know God. They had drifted so far from the Garden of Eden
that God needed to reveal Himself in amazing ways.
To make this point, even Moses asked God on Mount Sinai,
“Who do I say sent me?” Exodus 3:13. Moses had no clue
what to even call God, and God answered, “I AM.” meaning,
tell them I AM everything has sent you.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 7
In the Old Testament we see one demonstration after another
of God’s glory, from pillars of fire to a pillar of cloud by day
to guide the people of Israel.
We see God in a burning bush talking to Moses.
We see Jacob wrestling with God in the night.
We see the Red Sea parted and the ground dry for
Israel to cross.
We see Enoch taken up into heaven.
We see Elijah taken up into heaven by whirlwinds and
chariots of fire.
We see Jericho’s great walls crumble at God’s
command.
We see God turn Lot’s wife into salt for turning back.
We see cities destroyed for their blasphemy against
God.
We see kings like Belshazzar, in the book of Daniel,
killed for his mockery of God.
Nebuchadnezzar, the greatest Babylonian king,
wandered in the fields and acted like an animal for
seven years because of his pride and arrogance against
God’s glory.
The list goes on and on in the Old Testament.
So my question is this:
If God would destroy cities and nations and humble
kings for stealing His glory, why do we think He
would turn the other way when we do not proclaim His
glory in our lives?
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 8
No, we cannot preach a God that loves us no matter what we
do. We must preach a God that loves us, and we must preach
He loves us for His glory.
We must find a passion in our lives for His glory. This is the
passion we need to find as Christians:
A passion to search for His glory.
A passion to display His glory.
A passion to proclaim His glory.
His Glory must motivate us before we even get out of bed
in the morning.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 9
Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 2
Now let’s look at the New Testament and see what it says
about God’s glory.
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven
and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 1:3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the
exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by
the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he
sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
Romans 11:36 For from him and through him and to him
are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
John 17:4-5 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished
the work that you gave me to do. And now, Father, glorify me
in your own presence with the glory that I had with you
before the world existed.
Note: In this last verse Jesus picked up His Glory as God
immediately . . . not eventually, not second. It was the
very first thing he did. God’s glory is who He is and we
must not think of Him without it. To do so would be a
grave sin against God.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 10
To get us focused on God’s glory in the New Testament, let’s
start with Paul (Saul) on the road to Damascus.
As he entered a town, Saul would kill anyone who claimed
Jesus. Christians were being murdered for being Christians,
just as we are seeing in the Middle East today.
So, when Saul came to town, Christians new this would be
their last day on earth. He was brutal, he was uncaring, but,
he was religious! He was probably the most self-righteous
person around doing what he thought would please God.
But Saul’s actions were about to change in a big way. As he
was going to Damascus, suddenly Saul was blinded by God’s
glory. A thunderous voice came from heaven and the ground
shook.
Acts 9:4 And falling to the ground he heard a voice saying
to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
A whole book could be written about Acts chapter 9:1-4, but
we will stay focused here on two things:
First, Saul was so filled with religion that he went asking for
permission to persecute the Christians, both men and women.
Acts 9:1-2 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder
against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and
asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that
if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he
might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 11
That passage tells us a lot about Saul’s attitude: Saul had a
great passion. That’s why we see that a passion apart
from God’s glory is very dangerous.
Second, though Jesus says, “Saul, why are you persecuting
me?”
5. And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am
Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Jesus does not say, “Why are you persecuting my children?”
He says: “Why are you persecuting me?”
Saul was stepping into God’s glory and God was going to put
Saul in his place. Basically saying, Saul, you are so arrogant
that you are picking a fight with the creator of the universe!
Notice that God is more concerned about His glory than the
Christians that are being persecuted. Think about that. This
does not mean, however, that God did not care about the
Christians, but rather that His main priority was His glory.
As we know, Saul becomes Paul and eventually is one of the
strongest Christian founding fathers. God’s glory again!!!
God could have killed Saul and brought someone else along
to be a founding father of the faith, but God said, “No, I will
use Saul so that people know even my enemies bow before
me and I alone can change their hearts and lives.”
Notice though, before his conversion, Christians died at
Saul’s hand and now, he will be a founding father of the
faith! That doesn’t seem fair, does it? But we must realize
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 12
that God’s glory doesn’t have to sound fair to us mere
mortals!
God’s glory will always be God’s top priority. Really think
about that for a moment. In it you can find comfort and you
can also find God’s direction for your life.
In the New Testament
We see disciples freed from jail with earthquakes.
We see demons panic at the name and or sight of Jesus.
We see people brought to life.
We see people healed.
We see people drop dead for lying to God.
We see the cross.
We see the empty grave.
We see sins paid.
We see Christians killed.
We see Christians persecuted.
And, everything we see has one purpose:
To bring Glory to God.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 13
Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 3
Salvation has very little to do with us and everything to do
with God’s glory.
That statement can be taken two ways, so let me explain
both:
1. We, as individuals, play a very small part in a person’s
salvation. As the Bible says: some plant, some water,
some reap the harvest, John 4:37. In the end though,
none of us change a heart. None of us paid the price of
sin. None of us can open a person’s eyes.
The total glory goes to God, not to the one that shared
the Gospel. We must always watch our pride and keep
it in check. A person does not get saved because of
how good we look or how well we speak. I have said
many times that people get saved in spite of me and my
life.
Now don’t lean too far to the other direction and think,
“Okay, then I won’t bother to share the Gospel.” If we
do that, we are just sinning against God and He will
discipline us for that.
The point is, even if He had no servants on earth, God
would still change people’s lives. He could use a rock
to speak the Gospel and through the whole process He
would get the glory.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 14
The Bible actually teaches that, at the heart of it, our
salvation is not about us being saved but about God
showing His glory. Remember at the start of the book I
said salvation was just another way for God to reveal
His glory? This is what I was referring to, so let’s look
at Scripture and see if salvation is less about us being
saved and more about God and His glory:
Philippians 2:9-11 Therefore God has highly exalted
him and bestowed on him the name that is above every
name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and
every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.
In these verses alone, we see salvation is for God’s
glory. That does not mean He does not love us. It
actually shows His love even more. His love for us
does not change because of what we do. His love is
steadfast in His glory.
God did not panic at man’s fall in the garden. He was
going to show us His glory in ways that no one could
imagine. The whole Bible declares His glory but it
really reached its peak when Jesus came and was by far
the main attraction to His glory.
So, what is my point? My point is that our salvation
and happiness is not what makes God who He is. God
is who He is because of His glory.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 15
Christians have to stop thinking that somehow we
complete God. The truth is that we do not complete
God. God is complete in His glory. God has been
around a lot longer than this earth has been and He has
always been complete. By His glory and love He has
allowed us into His presence. Please understand that
even if He had not extended salvation to us, God would
still be complete in His glory.
That alone should make us love, fear and respect Him.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 16
Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 4
We as Christians put a lot of emphasis on having passion for
saving souls. Rightly so, God commands us throughout
Scripture to share the Gospel.
The dangers that can come from not balancing the Christian
life can be seen in my own experience. I personally became
so involved in my passion to see souls saved that I lost my
passion for the Glory of God.
Is that possible, you ask? Let me explain to you the danger
and what we are now seeing in our world because we lost
passion for God’s glory.
A person can be so passionate about seeing souls saved that
they forget it is about God’s glory. Once we forget it is about
God’s glory, we slowly change who God is. We make Him
this doting grandfather that wants the best for His creation so
that they are happy and at peace.
You see, when we remove God’s glory as the driving factor,
we start to focus on the person and their problems. We
become like a counselor wanting to ease their pain and make
them happy.
If we remove God’s glory as the primary focus, the person
becomes the primary focus. Then, before we know it, our
churches have become nothing more than a club for
socializing so that people can feel good and make friends.
Worst of all, they look at God as their best friend that just
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 17
wants them to be happy. God is so much greater than that
thought process.
Within that context, speaking of God’s glory makes God
sound like an ego maniac and we think it is foreign that
God’s glory is more important to Him than we are.
We have gotten so far away from God’s glory that we don’t
even know what His glory looks like any more. Essentially,
we have stolen His glory and taught people a lie about God
and who He is.
My warning is that anything less than a passion for God’s
glory will lead us to water down who God is, especially when
we are ministering to people. It is our nature to want to make
people feel good. However, anything less than passion for
God’s glory will eventually lead us away from God’s will
and God’s purpose in ministry and in our lives. Worse yet,
we will lead others away from who God really is.
In my own life when I put my focus on passion for God’s
glory, passion to share Jesus boldly is present automatically.
When my passion is on His glory I do not worry about the
results. Whether a person responds or not is not my problem.
My focus just needs to be on His glory.
I can also provide better counseling when my focus is the
Glory of God. It is easier to speak truth when the focus is His
glory. Now, the truth may not always be accepted well at
first. People are used to being more concerned about their
happiness than for God’s glory. We have to remember this
world has become very self-absorbed and people want to be
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 18
made to feel good rather than wanting to focus on God’s
glory. (Sadly, that way of thinking has filled the church also.)
What we do not realize is that, until we really understand
God’s glory and the importance of declaring His glory, we
will never feel better. God’s glory speaks never changing
truth into our lives. We can accept it or reject it and how we
feel will be a direct result of which choice we make.
Let me challenge you to one more thought because it is heavy
on my heart and I have done a lot of soul searching to try and
figure this out. If we put God’s glory first, what would our
lives and ministry look like? I think to get that answer we just
need to read the Bible, see what God felt was so important to
put into the Bible and see how He used and worked through
people.
So let me ask, are our churches and ministries focused on
God’s glory and God’s ways?
I would say for the most part, no. Sometimes when I go to a
church, I feel like I am in a corporate customer service
department. There are free cafes with all kinds of pastries,
juices and fancy coffee and free wifi. Please forgive my
sarcasm, but who needs free wifi when they go to worship
God? I submit that church should be so sacred that we should
discourage cell phones and wifi in the house of God where
God’s glory should be the only focus and priority.
My point is, who has had the biggest influence on our
churches, commercial corporations or God and His glory? I
believe our churches do not have power like we see in the
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 19
Bible because we have rejected His glory and followed the
lead of earthly thinking on how to reach people. If the
unsaved culture came up with an idea of how to market, you
can be sure God’s ways are the opposite of their earthly
concept. God works in rejuvenated hearts not in hearts of the
unsaved corporate world, meaning His ways will always be
opposite of their ways of thinking.
If we want to see God’s glory, we have to stop looking at the
corporate world and look in the Bible once again to find His
working power.
Yes, we may get people to come into church this way, but,
we will never see God’s working power the way we see it in
the Bible. We can have a moral minded fancy church with
none of the power that God shows us in Scripture. Anything
less than worshiping God’s full glory is failure on our part.
I acknowledge that the church leaders’ intentions are
typically good but unfortunately their theology is all wrong.
Hence, there is a passion for people but not a passion for
God’s glory.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 20
Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 5
Balance in the Christian life is not hard to find once we
understand passion for God’s glory. If our sole passion is for
God’s glory, all other aspects in our life will balance out.
We need to stop harping about passion for souls. If we teach
passion for God’s glory, our people will find passion for
souls within their passion for God’s glory. Funny how that
works.
When we have passion for God’s glory all the other passions
come with it. Jesus didn’t have to teach His disciples a lot
about passion for souls. He taught them passion for God’s
glory. When Jesus said go and tell people, they took off like a
wild fire because they already had passion for God’s glory.
Whenever I hear a Christian or a pastor make statements like:
our church has no passion for souls or no passion for the poor
or some other lack of passion, I tell them the real problem is
no passion for God’s glory. We focus on the symptom when
we need to cure the disease.
We need to start understanding God’s glory because that is
all heaven will be about. I’ve often wondered if God waits to
call us home because when we find out how much heaven
will be about God and His glory and nothing else, we would
be the most miserable people in heaven. I say that
sarcastically, but to make a point.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 21
Let’s do a little pop quiz here. If you or your church is
lacking a passion for:
Prayer
Souls
Visitation
Bible study
Missions
Or ___________ (whatever it might be)
What do you do first? Teach on it? No!!! You focus yourself
and the church on passion for God’s glory.
Why? Because actions done without passion for God’s glory
become duty and those actions will ultimately fail.
When evaluating our life or our ministries, we must be
careful not to count material blessings as proof that God is
pleased with what we are doing with His Glory. It is very
easy to say, “This money came in for this.” or “God gave us
this so He must be pleased with us.”
The truth is, the material things we consider blessings may
actually be distractions that Satan is using to slowly lure us
away from seeing God’s real glory. If Satan see’s you
measuring your spiritual rightness with God based on
material things. He just figured out how to lure you away
from God’s will.
The only way we can know if God is truly happy with what
we are doing is by reading the Bible and seeing if our hearts
match up with His glory. Most Christians are not destroyed
because Satan offered them vile sin. Most Christians are
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 22
destroyed because Satan slowly seduced them with material
possessions, either personal or ministry related.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 23
Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 6
As Jeremiah records in Jeremiah 29:13 Seek me with your
whole heart and you will find me. Seeking His glory will
cause pain and discomfort as God starts to mold us so we can
see His glory.
The earthly things we hold onto will slowly start to have no
meaning. Money and material things lose their grip on our
lives. We begin to realize that God’s glory is so amazing and
the only thing that matters is to walk with Him today, the way
the Bible instructs.
This is a process but there is no other option. We must
remember though, just like those in the Bible, any time we
take our eyes off His glory we fade back into the world’s way
of thinking.
The five churches in Revelation, chapters 1-3, saw God’s
glory at one time, but they vanished into history because they
lost passion for God’s glory. We must constantly guard
against the dangers of losing passion for God’s glory.
1. Search our hearts
We must search our hearts and see what our passion is
and why.
2. Repent
We must repent of everything that is not about His
glory.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 24
3. Pray
We must pray for God to show us His glory. Our
prayers should be more about His glory than anything
else.
4. Study the Bible
We must deliberately study the Bible in search of His
glory. Doing this is vitally important. Many people
today do not want to study the Bible. They are guided
by what they think or feel and justify it with, “God told
me.” I have found that this so-called, “God told me,”
feeling people claim they have experienced is actually
the opposite of what God says in His Word.
We must understand, God said all we needed to know
when the Bible was written. If God was to tell us
something in our hearts, it is our responsibility to
verify it through Scripture. It is critical for us to study
the Bible on every thought and feeling we have and
decision we make. The Bible warns us of this in the
last days in 1 Timothy 4:1, But the Spirit explicitly says
that in later times some will fall away from the faith,
paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of
demons,
Some will fall away. We cannot stop that. The question
is this: will we be ’a someone’ who falls away from the
faith, led by doctrines of demons?
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 25
5. Proclaim His glory
God shows His glory if we are willing to proclaim it to
people. The amount of noise and volume does not
necessarily mean a person is more or less in love with
God’s glory. Just because a person does not jump up
and down does not mean they are not proclaiming His
glory. We are all made differently and will all proclaim
God’s glory differently.
6. Praise and thank Him for His Glory
When God shows you His glory, praise and thank Him
for His Glory. Never take it for granted . . . I call that a
glory killer because His Glory will stop if we do not
praise Him for it. 1 Samuel 4:21 calls this Ichabod,
meaning the Glory has gone. Please understand it is not
that God’s glory stopped, but rather God’s glory has
gone from you.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 26
Passion for God’s Glory
Chapter 7
1 Samuel 17 gives us the account of David and Goliath.
David was a man that had passion for God’s glory. Even
when his oldest brother insulted him and tried to belittle him,
David stayed focused.
The king weighed him down with his fighting equipment and
still David stayed focused and said, just let me go with the
glory of the living God.
We must be careful not to weigh ourselves down with what
other Christians say we need in order to serve God. We need
our Bible and a passion for God’s glory – be very careful of
anything else that may weigh you down.
The king’s intensions, while good, were wrong. David was
the only one concerned about the glory of God,
demonstrating why the king and the whole army of Israel
were wrong. Be cautious of good intensions as they are often
at odds with God’s glory. Good intensions have interfered
with the glory of God being proclaimed in the church and in
people’s lives.
In the 1 Samuel 17 text, you will notice David was the only
one that cared who was insulting the living God. Later in the
text he also informs Goliath that the living God will destroy
him and that the world will know the God of Israel. This took
a man that had passion for God’s glory – not a man of
strength, not a man of great speech, not a man of wealth.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 27
God’s glory was revealed because of David’s passion for
God’s glory. In summary, God did not use a so-called
professional. He used the most unlikely candidate, David,
because of his passion for God’s glory. God does not need or
want professionals. As we saw in Isaiah 42:8 earlier, I will
give my glory to no other. 1 Corinthians 1:27but God chose
the foolish things of the world, that he might put to shame
them that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the
world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong;
As a life lesson, be cautious not to come up against a person
that has a passion for God’s glory when their passion aligns
with the Bible. But, also beware in the end days of passion
for a false version of God.
Saul’s actions against David came out of pride and jealousy
and Saul ended up living with a tormented soul for the rest of
his life with no relief.
Also note, even though Israel was God’s chosen people and
the army and the king had a passion for Israel, God could not
use them because they had no passion for God’s glory. So,
He used David. I pray that we will be ‘a David’ and that our
only passion will be for God’s glory.
There is so much more that can be written on God’s glory.
Let’s take what God has shown us so far in this book and
meditate on it. We can use it as a launching point to seek
God’s glory and leading in our lives.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 28
I don’t have all the answers, but God’s glory does. I pray that
today will be the start for you and me to find a deeper passion
for God’s glory.
Scripture references: The Holy Bible, English Standard Version (ESV) 29
Finally, let me say that if we will seek God’s glory every day
we will be amazed day after day as He reveals more and more
to us.
And each day we will say, I thought I knew God’s glory
yesterday but today He proved I knew only a little bit about
His glory.
