Glory: Giving God What He DeservesSample

God’s glory is sufficient, but He doesn’t expect us to sit back and watch Him manipulate circumstances while we do nothing. On the contrary, He lets us help bring His will about through prayer and obedience.

When we ask God to do things that line up with His will and character, He always does them, maybe not when or how we want, but He does them, and we get to know Him a little better in the process. The more we know God, the more we trust and want to obey Him. When we obey God, we give Him a chance to reveal Himself to the world around us and increase the likelihood that others will learn to trust and obey Him, too.

God is endless, unchanging, omnipresent, sovereign, all-knowing, and all-powerful. When we focus on prayer and obedience and let Him meet our physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual needs, we become useful tools in His hands, multiply the praise and recognition He deserves, and bring Him glory.
