“May
we not strut about like peacocks, flaunting our feathers for the world to see
but may we humbly remember the glory is the Lord’s.”
Hebrews
4:16
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
St.
Francis de Sales said, “Some men become proud and insolent because they ride a
fine horse, wear a feather in their hat or are dressed in a fine suit of
clothes. Who does not see the folly of this? If there be any glory in such
things, the glory belongs to the horse, the bird and the tailor.” We all strive
for the glory of God in our lives. And, indeed, God’s glory is something well
worth striving for. However, the key to my experience of God’s glory is found in
completely retreating from my own importance.
I
have been seeking to experience more of the glory of God. I have a yearning to see
his presence manifest more and more in my life. I have found that the manifest glory
of God is found in a total submission to his holiness. God is holy. Holiness means
consecrated, sanctified and unique. God is absolutely unique: there is nothing
like God – his splendour, his righteousness, his majesty – in the whole
universe! When people enter the glory of God, they are challenged by his
holiness.
The
prophet Isaiah experienced the glory of God. He describes it like this: “I saw
the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe
filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two
he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And
one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the
whole earth is full of his glory!” Then he says the temple shook with God’s
majesty and the house was filled with smoke (smoke or clouds are often evidence
of the glory of God). Then notice Isaiah’s response: “Woe is me! For I am lost;
for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean
lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
Do
you desire to experience more of God’s glory in your life? I do. Do you have a longing
to come under the influence of his Holy Spirit and dwell in his holy presence?
I do. As I do, do you have a passion to reveal God’s grandeur in all you do,
living under the cloud of his glory at your time of need? If so, then let us
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith and our hearts sprinkled
clean from an evil conscience. May we not strut about
like peacocks, flaunting our feathers for the world to see but may we humbly
remember the glory is the Lord’s.

SO,
DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY
O
Lord, I retreat from my own importance and submit entirely to the will of God
“Dear
God, you are high and exalted and your glory fills the earth. You are holy and supremely
righteous. Only by the blood of Jesus have I been forgiven of my sin and purified.
Only by the blood of Jesus have I the right to approach your throne. I come
before you in the name of Jesus my Lord and I surrender every part of my life
to your glory. O Lord, I retreat from my own importance and submit entirely to
the will of God. As the prophet Isaiah prayed, I pray: Here am I! Send me. Amen.”
If
you require more prayer, I’d love to pray with you. Please email dudley@godtracker.co.uk
