Wednesday Rhapsody Of Realities - Ever-Increasing Glory!

But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:18).

There’s so much more in the Lord; so much to know and become, which is why you should always be eager, passionate, and zealous for the Lord; to know Him more, and be all that He’s planned for you to be. You can never know everything about Him at once. So, why stop when there’s so much more to learn, so much to know, and so much more to be? His glory is ever-increasing! Therefore, be excited to see your life constantly growing.

Desire more of Him, more of His glory, and increase of His wisdom in your life! Keep studying and meditating on His Word, and not only will you know Him more, His glory will increase in your life as well. The angels continually experience the wonder of His ever-increasing glory. As they behold the glory of God in heaven, they worship, and the glory continually changes. Every time they bow in worship and raise their heads, they see something new, and so they keep worshipping. The most beautiful part of this is that they don’t get tired, because as they worship, they increase in glory.

No one beholds the glory of God without being impacted; His glory transforms you. Recall the experience of Peter, James and John at the mount of transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-3). When they saw Jesus transfigured in their presence, Peter said, “...Lord, it is good for us to be here...” (Matthew 17:4). At that moment, they forgot about the whole world; they wanted to stay in the glory of God.

In John 17, Jesus prayed to the Father for His disciples, and there, He said so much about the glory. Why? Because the kingdom is “Glory-focused”; it’s all glorious. And that’s the life He’s given us; we carry His glory! He wants us to be conscious that we’re the effulgence of His glory! Blessed be God!

PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for the glory that’s vested in your Word. As I behold the glory in the Word, I’m metamorphosed from glory to glory. My life is upward and forward only. I carry your glory in my spirit, and with this consciousness, I rule and reign, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

John 17:22-23 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

2 Chronicles 5:13-14 It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that thenthe house was filled with a cloud, eventhe house of the LORD; 14 So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.
