God's glory
The 8th Sunday after Pentecost
The Commander of Heaven’s Army is peerless and awesome, peerless and awesome, peerless and awesome. His glory is so extensive that it blankets the entire earth. ~ Isaiah 6:3 (ABP)
Praise be to God! He is the most powerful ruler and he's taken control of his realm. The universal empire belongs to him so let us celebrate his enthronement and gush with the glory he deserves. ~ Revelation 19:6-7 (ABP)
KEY IDEA:
Honor God by pouring on the glory. There is no way that you can over do it for him.
PRAYER:
Almigthy God, you are worthy of all recognition -- all glory and honor. Forgive me for failing to properly acknowledge you. Help me to catch the glory wave that pulsates throughout the entire creation so that I can join in the movement to honor you with my life and my words. Amen.
