Lord,
God – It’s not about us. We don’t seek glory and honor. Show your glory. Bring
honor to your name. In the victory, let everyone see that you are truth. You
are faithful, loving, and gracious! (Psalm 115:1)
When
it all comes down, what matters? What is your first thought when the victory is
won? How about when it looks like defeat? From the Christian’s perspective,
isn’t every result part of an overall victory story? If that’s true, the bottom-line
should always be the same.
What matters, in every
case, is that God be honored; that He be known and seen to be gracious and
truthful, and faithful. God should be glorified. The Bible is full of stories
where it was hard to see a win, but still, God was glorified. Very often, where
you see a defeat, God is simply setting up the scene for a story that will
reveal His power.
In a world where the
bottom line is mostly about money and influence and fame, don’t worry about how
you look, nor the results you see when you obey God. Let your measure be
whether people can see the Lord in a way that He is honored.
