Observation from John Piper (2006)....
"God created the world to exhibit the fullness of His glory in the God-centered joy of His people."
(To display His glory through our joy!?!)
Four hundred years earlier theologians wrote this as the first teaching in the Westminster Catechism --
Question #1: What is the chief end of man?
Answer: The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
I love the consistency of these statements - God created everything to joyfully display His glory...forever!
Peter says it's "joy unspeakable and full of glory" - GOD'S glory!
I find these thoughts so exciting! How does God display His glory? Through the joy of His people! WOW!
Psalm 104:33 -- "I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my mediation be pleasing to Him as I rejoice in the LORD."
Let's exhibit His glory everywhere we go today!
