God will never become anything less than the perfect deity that he is. The foundation stone of God’s divine rightness and integrity will never be moved.
We should always be wowed by God's greatness! He turns death into life, prosperity into adversity, and mourning into dancing.
In Titus 3:3-7, we're supposed to remember the misery of our sin, see the grace that God has poured out on us through his Son and the Holy Spirit, and to cherish the hope we have as heirs of eternal life.

Following Jesus means we need to follow His Word – not our opinions or our emotions.
Those who have followed the devil’s pattern are in grave danger of sharing in the devil’s punishment.
Jesus carefully defines that the greatest thing that a human can be is a humble servant.
For you and I, there’s no disaster too small, it could still have the power to throw us into doubt and despair. But for Jesus, there’s no disaster too big, that it would undermine the secure hold he has on his people.
Jesus is not just a teacher. He is not just a moral example. Jesus is the God of glory, come down in humble human flesh, to save you.

God's glory is the visible manifestation of his perfections shining forth in this world. In Psalm 29, written by King David, God displays his glory in a number of ways. He shines in heaven in the glory of his holiness, as David demands all the angels of heaven to worship him. God thunders in the storm and displays the glory of his power, and he calls us to acknowledge before the world that he is the creator. God sits as king over the flood, displaying the glory of his sovereignty. And God dwells among his people, displaying the glory of his love, which is seen most clearly in Jesus Christ bearing the storm of God's judgment in our place. And in him we can draw near to worship God, and find strength and peace.
Though Christians should expect to encounter opposition at some point – and though we should expect rejection to take different forms – we shouldn’t forget what God has waiting for us.
