Glory Glory Hallelujah!
The word ‘glory’ in the Bible means ‘weighty, heavy’ and refers to the presence of God.
Nothing can change the presence of God. Nothing can effect His glory. It is unchanging. He will be where He wants to be. However His glory is not what is under scrutiny, it is our glory.
JEREMIAH 2 v11, “my people have exchanged their glory.”
Our glory is the original condition mankind was created with.
Adam lost it because he wanted to be somebody else instead of being happy with who God created.
Adam lost it for us and Jesus gave it back to us but we keep on losing it because we want to be somebody else other than who God made.
We want to be and we want to have and we pursue this at all costs even if that cost is our glory.
We exchange our glory by choosing to speak a certain way, or by our certain actions, or the way we spend and the way we give, what we use and what we keep. We do all those things for the image of somebody in our mind.
The question is always this: is that image the image of Jesus? If it is not, then you are in danger of losing your glory.
Keep your glory: it is who you are created to be.
