Walking through Ephesians - Day 66

Thought:  To me, God has chosen to project His glory in and through the church and His Son, Jesus Christ.

Question:  Is my heart continually in tune with this "kind" of glory?

Scripture:  Ephesians 3:21 (NIV):  "to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus thoughout all generations, for ever and ever!  Amen."

It is to this God that we ought to want to give all credit, all praise, all accolades, all worship and adoration, every day, all day long, forever and ever and ever.  The church becomes a praise organ.  Every generation that moves by, which names Christ, is a body alive in its own age that should point all credit to God.  With joy, we here in Eugene in 2008, the local body of Christ, can join with the church body international, to lift up praise now.  It will join with the praises of past ages and swirl into the eternal, combining with the predicted praise of the book of Revelation in future days, and create a whole glory that merely begins to give enough credit to God for all that He has done!  Will He ever be praised enough?

This is the God to praise:  the One Who has masterfully engineered a way to achieve true peace in men's hearts, from the inside out.  He is the One Who has united disparaging Gentiles with self-righteous Jews, melting all hostilities.  He is the One Who has saved all men from their personal, condemning sins and sinfulness by bringing us His Son, Our Savior.  He is the One Who has neutralized His own wrath, dissolving it on the cross and under the blood of His Only Begotten Son.  This is the God Who brings all these blessings to us through His chosen avenue:  His precious Son, Jesus Christ.  All glory belongs to Him, Our great God and Father!  He has formed His  church with great success.  May His glory be displayed therein through all generations and forever!

Prayer:  Father, You deserve to have Your glory expressed wherever You choose.  I simply thank You it is Your choice to express it in Your church and in Your Son.  Amen.
