Glorify Him -- Now and Forever!

 

"To Him be glory, both now and forever" (2 Peter 3:18).

"Believer, you are anticipating the time when you will join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are you glorifying Him now?

Peter says, "both now and forever."

Make it your prayer: 

'Lord, help me to glorify You now. I am poor; help me to glorify You by contentment. I am sick; help me to honor You by my patience. I have talents; help me to extol You by spending them for You. Lord, I have time; help me to redeem it that I may serve You. I have a heart to feel; let that heart feel no love but Yours and glow with no flame but love for You.

You have put me in this world for something. Lord, show me what that is and help me to work out my life-purpose. I cannot do much, but as the widow put in her two copper coins, which were all she had, so, Lord, I am all Yours. Take me and enable me to glorify You today in all that I say, all that I do, and with all I have.'"
