Oftentimes, we know the glory of God through His works in our lives. We glorify and call Him great from what we see in Him and what He does.
In Exodus 33:18-19, we see God’s glory as His goodness.
- His goodness gives deliverance (Exodus 18:9).
- It gives victory (Nehemiah 9:24-25).
- It provides (Psalm 68:10; Jeremiah 31:12).
- It gives hope (Jeremiah 31:14,17).
The third stanza of “Holy Lord God Almighty” says:
“Holy, Holy, Holy!
Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin,
Thy glory may not see…”
From this hymn, no man can see the glory of God when he is in sin (Read Ephesians 4:17-19). A man cannot see His glory when sin is “standing” between him and God. In other words, God cannot wrought great works in man if sin is present (See Isaiah 59:1-2 and Romans 6:1-2).
“As you cannot see the beauty of an object in the dark. Likewise, you cannot see the glory of God in sin.”
Darkness will vanish anywhere there is light. Light will show forth the beauty of what is hidden by darkness. Jesus is the light of the world (John 8:12) sent by God (John 6:38-40) to abolish every form of darkness (2 Timothy 1:10). This darkness could be sickness, attack, etc. We see the glory of God and know more about Him through Jesus (John 14:7a)–The miracles He did, His death and resurrection are all about God and His glory. It is the light in Jesus that will make you to see His glory and become a carrier of His glory.
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
~John 8:12 (KJV)
Only Jesus’ followers can claim this light. Are you His true follower? Hold fast to your confession that He is your Lord and Saviour. He must be your Lord in everything. You must be obedient to His commandments.
Follow Jesus today and have the light which is life.
Shalom!
