John 1:14 ”The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory….”
Yesterday when I first came across this verse, I went looking to see what I could find online about God’s glory. A Kenneth Copeland blog post I came across asked: “Why aren’t we seeing more of [God’s glory]?” His reply was that “We haven’t made enough of this glory that indwells us. The more we make of it, the more it will manifest and work in our lives.” This quote has definitely got me thinking.
Romans 8:11 The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you….
Again, this seems like it should be a HUGE deal. I know the same power that rose Jesus from the grave lives in me. It boggles my mind, and I know I don’t tap into that power nearly enough, but I recognize the intellectual truth of it. I know God’s glory is His goodness. I know His glory is ever-present in my life. Jesus, Help me to wrap my head and heart around the fact that Your glory lives IN me, too. Help me to understand what that means and what it means in and for my life.
John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.”
Lord, Thank You for this day and for the this scripture. Thank You that Your Spirit, Your power, and Your glory live in me. Help me to fully understand what that means. Help me to harness Your power and magnify Your glory in all that I do. Help me to shine Your light so that others may see and understand Your deep love. Draw me closer. Amen.
John 17:26 “I have made You known to them, and will continue to make You known in order that the love You have for me may be in then….”
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
