see the glory of God


Psalms 92:5
O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 

The Heavens and the earth sings praises of our God, creator. Stars in galaxies resounds God's Holy handiwork, beauty and authority so much more than what our physical eyes could adore on this earth. The laws that governs this universe are His and His alone. Even before the world come to know of and make sense of. 

Job 38:33
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?  

Even Newton himself, relied on God of the bible to frame his understanding of the universe. He said [1], 

" This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.. This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called Lord God."

God created the world together with His beloved son, our Lord Jesus Christ. God rejoiced and loved our Lord so much daily. That they enjoyed every precious moments creating the heavens and the earth together. 

Prov 8:30
Then I was by him, as one brought up with him; and i was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;

God created light to shine on the surface of this planet to truly see the real condition – it was void, cold and dark. Upon His commands, the earth was transformed. 


In like manner, daily God shines light into our hearts – through His son, our Lord Jesus Christ – who took on the form of a man and walked this earth many many years ago – to teach us understanding, knowledge and love of God and His will. Jesus taught us clarity on God’s statues and commandments, which will redeem us from sin, teach us the path to correction, to live a Godly life so that we have the hope of Heaven.

2 Cor 4: 6 

For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 

Day by day, God's tender mercies and blessings help and shape us to over come the many challenges and struggles that we individually face in life. As a potter creating a beautiful artifact - Our God will continue to guide us, provide for us and shape us. And through Christ alone, our prayers are heard and the God of all comfort, protects and provides for us. O’ my lord how excellent and wonderful are thy precious work and providential care for all man throughout all time! 

1 Peter 5: 10 

But the God of all grace, who has called us to his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

John 17: 1
" these words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee." 

The glory of God is our Lord Jesus Christ who freely sacrificed Himself to die on the cross of Calvary for the remission of sins for all mankind. Lo and Behold, our Lord resurrected, overcame death and is alive!! He is now sat on the right hand of God interceding for us daily. Thank you Lord!  

Rom 8:34 
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is rise again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 

Our Lord overcame the gates of hell and show us the way to resist the devil. Many a times, satan even tempted our lord in the wilderness, but our Lord resisted the devil and it flee away from Him. 

Mat 4: 4 
But he answered and said, it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 

Our Lord always used the scriptures against satan – “It is written..” Belief in His Word and Him so that he can strengthen and establish us.

Mark 14: 38

Watch ye an pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. 

Be earnest and true in prayer to the Lord. We are to watch and pray such and seek His mercy first! it is only through Christ alone we can truly see the glory of God
