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.
Psalm 28 shows us how God brings us from worry to worship by teaching us to trust in his work, even when he sometimes seems silent.
Why did Jesus come? Paul says Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. And when Jesus saves sinners, he transforms them too!
Jesus doesn’t play the virtue-signaling game like everybody else. His concern isn’t to follow manmade customs to gain people’s approval. His concern, instead, is for his relationship with God to be lived out in a way that’s truly right.
God is preeminent, perpetually. He is in control, continuously. He is faithful forever.
You can give, because you have a God who gives.
God isn't looking for witnesses who are impressive, but he's looking for witnesses who will testify to the coming of Jesus with joy, worship, and faith.
Is the day of Christ on your mind? Is it having any impact on how you live?
The presence of God with sinners like us, to bless us and to rebuild us, is what guarantees the success of our spiritual work.
