Glory & Goodness of God<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

How many Christian have asked, even begged God to show them His glory and nothing apparently happened?\u00a0 I am one of them\u2026so I thought.<\/p>\n

My definition of the glory of God is God expressed.\u00a0 I always thought when God\u2019s glory showed up it was accompanied by something miraculous like power, light, smoke and fire.\u00a0 I thought that people could not even stand when God\u2019s glory appeared, and sometimes this is true.\u00a0 But what I have come to know if something very different.<\/p>\n

One day the Spirit reminded me of Moses asking God to see His glory.\u00a0 In Exodus 33:18 Moses asked God, \u201cPlease, let me see your glory.\u201d\u00a0 Wait a minute!\u00a0 Didn\u2019t Moses already see God\u2019s glory in the burning bush on Mt. Sinai?\u00a0 Didn\u2019t Moses experience God\u2019s glory when His own finger wrote on the tablets of stone the 10 Commandments?\u00a0 Moses saw power, light, smoke and fire, yet he still asked to see God\u2019s glory.\u00a0 What is that all about?<\/p>\n

After Moses asked to see God\u2019s glory, God responded with something quite interesting that has changed my life forever.\u00a0 God responded to Moses request by saying, \u201cI will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahwah before you.\u00a0 I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious and have compassion on whom I will have compassion.\u201d\u00a0 Do you see it?\u00a0 Moses asked to see God\u2019s glory <\/em>and God responded with saying that He will show him His goodness<\/em>!\u00a0 From this I have learned that God\u2019s glory is expressed in His goodness. \u00a0This was a big revelation to me.\u00a0 It opened my eyes to look at all the goodness of God in my life and to know that I have seen and do see His glory every single day!\u00a0 Praise the Lord!<\/p>\n

God is good, and He strongly desires you and I see His goodness and live in His glory (manifest presence).\u00a0 When glory shows up, goodness manifests!\u00a0 Getting up in the morning is an expression of God\u2019s goodness.\u00a0 Provision is a manifestation of His goodness.\u00a0 Health is a manifestation of His goodness and so is healing.\u00a0 All the beautiful and good things we take for granted every single day is God manifesting His glory.<\/p>\n

The apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:8, \u201cWhatever things are true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable\u2014if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise\u2014dwell on these things.\u201d\u00a0 This is an invitation to focus on the goodness of God and experience His glory!<\/p>\n

Peter wrote in His second letter something amazing, \u201cHis divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness<\/strong>.\u00a0 By these [His glory and goodness] He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them [His promises] you may share in His divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires (2 Peter 1:3-4).\u201d \u00a0Here is see God\u2019s glory and goodness linked yet again.\u00a0 To put it plainly, when we enjoy and acknowledge our Papa\u2019s glory and goodness though his great and precious promises, we actually are partaking of His very divine nature!\u00a0 Isn\u2019t this AWESOME!<\/p>\n

Our pastor, Gary Keesee<\/a>, recently said that the Lord told him to tell the people that \u201cHe [God] is incredibly good.\u201d\u00a0 He is good beyond belief!\u00a0 God wants us to know His goodness and to do so our eyes must be opened to all the good things in our lives.\u00a0 In return we need to acknowledge them, thus giving the Lord the glory due Him.<\/p>\n

So, you see, God\u2019s glory is all around us in plain sight!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
