Here's what I read this morning and have been meditating on all day:
It's about Abraham and is from Romans 4:20-21...
No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, 21fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised
The first thing I'm thinking about is: he grew strong in faith as he gave glory to God.
NOT as he got older,
NOt as he saw evidence of the promise being fulfilled (because THAT was still a long time coming),
NOT as people encouraged him (because he didn't get a lot of that),
NOT as he attended synagogue with his fellow Jews,
but he grew strong in faith as he gave glory to God.
It's an oft-used phrase--"give glory to God," and sometimes I just like to ponder phrases, turn them upsidedown like pants to see if I can "shake any more meaning out of their pockets." Would you help me?
Please leave some bullet point ways to glorify God in the comment box. It's always good to revisit this theme with our heads together.
