May God's Glory be Seen in 2014

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory (John 1:14).

The Spirit inspired Moses to record that when God took up residence in the wilderness tabernacle He filled the tent with His glory… “Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. And Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle” (Exodus 40:34-35). The Spirit inspired John to record the miracles of Jesus and to show that whenever Jesus acted or spoke to meet the needs of people He revealed the glory of God and it led to belief… “This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him” (John 2:11). Jesus passed His glory on to His followers… “The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one” (John 17:22). He gave Christ followers His glory so they would share it with the world and come to know the love of God... "So that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me" (John 17:23). Jesus exhorted His followers to share God’s glory by continuing His works and serving others… “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).

So, why not consider a great personal theme for 2014? In everything you plan and pursue, may the Glory of God be seen in and through you..."Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). "May God's Glory be Seen in 2014"... A great personal theme for the New Year.
