📖 “When Jesus had finished saying all these things he looked up to heaven and said, “Father, the time has come. Reveal the glory of your Son so that he can give the glory back to you. I brought glory to you here on earth by doing everything you told me to." -John 17:1,4 The Living Bible
Jesus did not come to the earth to bring himself glory. Jesus came into the earth to do the will of His Father and to bring Him glory. Jesus wanted His glory revealed, just so that He could give it right back to His Father. We are here to bring God glory. We are not here so that we can be magnified. We are not here to bring attention to ourselves. We are here to honor God with our lives. We bring Him glory by carrying out His will for our lives. We honor Him by obeying His Word. If we humble ourselves, God will exalt us. When that takes place, we give Him the glory because if it weren’t for Him, there would be no exaltation. We are not our own, we have been bought with a price. Let’s bring God glory today. Let’s walk in obedience and follow His plans for our lives. It’s the least we can do. He is our sufficiency; He is our ability. We are who we are by His grace.
