Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Giving glory, ascribing the glory God is due, is not easy for us with our mortal limitations and self-focused ambitions. Let's admit it: We are self-focused and limited compared to God's glorious limitlessness! We're much more accustomed to asking for things for ourselves from God that we think we need than we are focused on praising and thanking God while inviting others to join us in adoring him. Let's use the rest of this week to pray with thanksgiving and praise, glorifying God's holy name while not asking for things for ourselves. Let's try it together! We can choose a day this week and spend an hour praising, adoring, reverencing, and thanking God for who he is, what he has done, and his promises to us. We won't ask for anything from God during this time. We want this hour to focus on God and what He has done, ascribing to him the glory due him while worshiping him in the splendor of his holiness!

Video Commentary...

We've included Phil's ToGather video from four years ago as an added blessing to our verse today:

My Prayer...

Father, we praise you. You are marvelous and magnificent beyond the power of my earthbound words to describe and praise. Despite my human limitations, you have loved me as I am and are transforming with increasing likeness to be like your Son.* Thank you for sending him to help me glimpse your glory and anticipate seeing you face to face in eternal glory. Thank you for living inside me through your Holy Spirit and doing your work in me. I praise you for sustaining me and those I love with your grace. I thank you, dear Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.

* 2 Corinthians 3:17-18.
