For the Glory of God
How often are you amazed at the Glory of God? Seeing His glory should be a constant in our walk with God, for He is truly an amazing God. When we are watching for God’s glory it will be easy to see because He wants us to know that He is God and He is looking out for us. Sometimes, however, God’s glory will overwhelm us even if we are not looking for it.
Nehemiah 6:16 tells us that the enemies of God were overwhelmed with His glory when the wall was completed in just 52 days. They certainly were not looking for God’s glory, but when they saw the work God had accomplished through His people they became fearful and humbled. The rebuilding of the wall was an amazing feat that could only be accomplished through God’s power and with His help. In this simple accomplishment people who were far from God realized that He was truly God, and that they stood helpless against Him.
In 1 Corinthians 10:31 we are reminded that whatever we do we must do for God’s glory. This means we must consider what God wants instead of what we want, and in the end His desires will be best for us. As we work, and as God’s glory is demonstrated through us, non-believers will take notice and we will see Him bring others to Himself.
