“Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to Your name give glory because of
Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth. Why should the nations say, “Where,
now, is their God?” But our God is in the heavens; He does whatever He pleases.”
(Psalm 115:1-3)
The battle in the world is easy
to see. There are those who know that the Lord God made all things and that
honor and glory belong to Him. Then, there are those who are vying for honor to
get glory for themselves. You see it all around you. Which of these people will
you be? To whom shall you render honor and glory? The Lord alone is worthy of
all honor and praise.
Lord teach me where I am caught up in the nonsense of this age. Lead me
away from the way of the world to see things as they always have been. You are
unchanging, gracious and merciful. In Your mercy, open my eyes to see and my
ears to hear the immutable truth that You alone are beyond the ages and yet You
have made Yourself known to those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.
Lord Jesus, You have come that we
may see the light and come into a life of praise and worship. Lead me, O Lord,
to the place where, in spite of the noise of the wicked, I live in praise and
worship of You in eternal Trinity. Guide my thoughts and actions to reflect a
life of praise and worship. May I abide in You knowing that in You alone is the
hope of the ages. Amen.
