The LORD is My Glory ~ Part 29/15/2016 “But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.” ~Psalm 3:3 Another view on this concept of the Lord being our glory and our honor —and one that is more relative to our era—is that He is our renown, our fame, and our identity. Our culture tells us to promote ourselves, pursue notoriety and popularity, and make our name known. However, David, the most famous and well-known man in Israel during his day, declared that the Lord was his glory. It wasn’t his wealth, fame, accomplishments, abilities, victories, wives, children, or popularity; David’s glory was the Lord.

Remembering Ground Zero*9/11/2016 Today is a day of remembrance and reflection for our country. A time to remember lives lost, sacrifices made, and a war begun. Fifteen years ago, terror struck America as three hijacked planes hurled into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The attackers’ objective: terrorize the most powerful nation in the world and bring fear and devastation. They accomplished their mission and ignited the War on Terror. Since that fateful day in 2001, there have been many other terrorist attacks in America and around the world where innocent people have lost their lives and military personnel have sacrificed theirs.
The LORD is My Glory ~ Part 19/5/2016 We live in a world consumed with glory, fame, success, and human accolade. Celebrities, movie stars, and royalty are raised to a god-like pedestal and revered with much awe and respect. While most of us are not world-famous or blue bloods, we do seek to make a name for ourselves, become successful, and expand our sphere of influence. So this verse from Psalm 3 is a timely message for us: “But you, O LORD, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.”
~Psalm 3:3 |
