For His Glory

I reworded the last phrase of my Psalm 150 blog. As I read it, after posting, my mind and heart automatically transformed that last phrase and I knew it was a significant change. All of creation offers up a symphony of praise to our God and our King, not for the simple pursuit of praise but the passionate pursuit for His Glory. From Genesis to Revelation His Glory is proclaimed and is fully on display. He spoke – and the whole earth was filled with His Glory as the deep darkness was saturated with the Light. He speaks to hearts of all mankind today so that His Glory may be revealed in the darkness of their souls, and out of this transformation the Light of His Glory explodes throughout the whole earth. Indeed, it is not the pursuit of praise but the passionate pursuit for His Glory that gives light and life and power to the praises that go on, and on, and on. “Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of His Glory!” Amen and Amen
