Glory and Trust

Glory and Trust are two words that should be at the top of your list.  Your list should show to others what kind of person your are.  Do you give Glory to God?  Do you trust in the Lord?  How do others view your speaking habits?

Do you rattle off all your good qualities or do you humbly relate all you have to the Glory of God?  When you get a bonus like an extra pay check, or a Christmas bonus, or you sell something online or at a flee market, do you give Glory to God or do you say, ‘I worked hard for that?’  All we have is from God.  All the food I have in my refrigerator is from God.  The gasoline in my car is from God.  The joy in my heart is from God.  Whether it is material things or something special in your heat or soul, it is from God.  And God must get the Glory.

When King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream and Daniel knew he would be able to answer the King’s questions, he came forward.  See Daniel 2:14-16.  He knew something deep down inside of him.  He knew God was his provider and would provide the answers.  What did he do first?  He called his Godly friends together and asked them to pray.  Is that the first thing you do?  Pray?  God will answer if you put Him first.  Give Him Glory.  Daniel trusted the the Lord would give him the answers to give the King.  And He did.  In verse 27, Daniel explains the King’s dream.  But he is only able to do that because he trusted in the Lord.  Do you?

Trust in the Lord for everything.  Then He will fulfill your desires.  But remember, trust comes first.  How has the Lord helped you today?
