The Glory of Creation is Shouting...

"Day to day pours out speech, 

and night to night reveals knowledge."

The glory of creation is shouting, 

"There's a God, 

there's a God,

there's a God who made it all!"

Our lives are about discovering that truth

and finding the infinite satisfaction that can be found

only living in a community that is reveling in glory

and reaching others with it.

That is why we are here, 

to discover God who made us,

to live for His glory,

and to show off how awesome He really is

so others see the glory too.

James MacDonald

Vertical Church

And a bit more from the same chapter...

God's glory is the purpose of the ages-
the reason that everything exists
and the only reason we get to draw another breath this moment.
God desires that in every action
we display the glorious reality of the God who made us.

***

He doesn't need us or our glorifying,
but we need it desperately to displace our pride.
Glory will not fall where human pride reigns,
so God promotes humility in us
to make room for the experience of His glory.

***

When a church can get those who attend
to let go of what makes us miserable
and embrace what God created us to long for-
to recognize and relish His glory-
that church has begun to fulfill its purpose.

"Not to us, 
O LORD,
 not to us
but to your name give glory."
