12/10/2022 Acts 12:23 Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died.
A king looks at his kingdom and his pride grows from the fertilizer of praise and gives the glory to himself and dies because he selects death rather than life.
12/9/2022 Acts 7:55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God,
The veil between life and death and between earth and heaven is very thin. At the point of giving his life for the glorious God sees the fulfillment of his sacrifice.
12/8/2022 Acts 7:2 And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran,
The God of glory. The God of glory appeared. To whom, when and where the God of glory appears a lineage of those who glorify God begins.
12/6/2022 John 11:4 When Jesus heard that, He said, “This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
It is so appealing to believe when you come to the glorious God all will be good in your life but how can we believe that when we serve a God who saw the sacrificial death of His Son and the suffering of one of His best friends to be for the glory of God?
12/4/2022 Luke 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
Growing up I always looked forward to A Charlie Brown Christmas TV special as part of preparation for Christmas. It could be because I at times feel like a Charlie Brown but later I realized it was because it was one of the few Christmas specials that shared Bible verses to explain the true meaning of Christmas. Take time to read all of Luke chapter 2 as you prepare for Christmas.
