The Gospel, The Good News 6 of 41


The Glory of God (cont)

James 1:17
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights,                            with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
       (paraphrased NLT) 
Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all        
                the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

1 Chronicles 29:10-14
Therefore David blessed the LORD before all the assembly; and David said:
        Blessed are You, LORD God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O LORD,
And You are exalted as head over all.
Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
But who am I, and who are my people,
That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?
For all things come from You,
And of Your own we have given You.

Romans 11:33-36
Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!
For who has known the mind of the LORD?
Or who has become His counselor?
Or who has first given to Him
And it shall be repaid to him?
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.
Amen.

When I take time to ponder God and His glory I can only praise Him for all that I am, all that I have. It is only because of the goodness of God that I am who I am, and I have all that I have. 

Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands!
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before His presence with singing.
Know that the LORD, He is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His mercy is everlasting,
And His truth endures to all generations.
-David Psalm 100
