Psalm 115

1 Chapter: Psalm 115

1 Verse: Verse 1. Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to Your name give glory because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

1 Prayer: Father, I am so incredibly thankful that Your glory derives not from me and my faithfulness, but from Your own goodness and truth. If it were up to me, You might never receive the glory You deserve -- not for lack of trying, but simply out of my own weakness, frailty, failure and want. I have sometimes been over-zealous for Your glory, Lord, and it has done little to honor You. It is not through my strivings, but rather by Your grace that You are most sufficiently glorified. It is through Your unlimited kindness to undeserving people like me that most reveals the glory of Your name. And I am thankful, Father. Help me not to seek Your glory through my self-righteousness, but through Your lovingkindness and Your truth.

1 Prayer: Wow! Father, this is why we are here -- to glorify You, to worship You, to praise You. Just the thought that we will spend eternity doing that IN YOUR PRESENCE ... truly, Lord, Your lovingkindness is too much to bear ... that You would bestow upon us such a magnificent task when we are so unworthy. Praise the name of Jesus -- my rock, my fortess, my deliverer ... my soul sings of Your glory, now and forever :o)
