The One Who Is Worthy Of The Glory



Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!
   For who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
    Who knows enough to give him advice?
   And who has given him so much
    that he needs to pay it back?
 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory.  All glory to him forever! Amen.

Romans 11:33-36  (NLT)



Dear God,



May I never fail to give You all of the glory—for all that I have and for all that I am!  For all things come from You and exist by Your power and are intended for Your glory!


Sometimes, I think I’m pretty smart.  But then I am reminded that what I know is so very small when compared to the great riches of Your wisdom and Your knowledge.  How could I ever hope to really understand all Your decisions and all of Your ways?!

Nobody can know Your thoughts, nor can anyone understand so much that he should advise You on anything!  Nor can anyone give You so much that You would owe them anything!

Yet, in Your mercy, You show me what I need to know and ask me, by faith, to trust You with the rest.

I am grateful that I am not the One who holds it all together, and even more grateful that I can rest in the fact that You do just that—You hold it all together by the power of Your might and for Your glory!


May I never fail to give You all of the glory—for all that I have and for all that I am!  For all things come from You and exist by Your power and are intended for Your glory!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
