10that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10,11)
9t“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!” (Revelation 5:12)
Thoughts: In the end, all will glorify God. Every person will admit that God is God and the truth is the truth. All was created for God's glory and in the end the bad we do, the good we do, and all in between, will be turned into a way to glorify God. To glorify God means to reflect back to Him His honor. We are called to reflect His light- as a small mirror reflects the light of the sun. Our attention and direction are to be pointed to Him, and we are to shine his light wherever we go. Jesus taught us to pray in His famous prayer that we would remember that all glory belongs to God.
Prayer: Lord, help me to honor you. Help me to remember you win in the end and that all that is will glorify you.
Q & A 128
