Psalm 115:1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us but to your name be the glory, because of your love and faithfulness.
We often question our superiors at work. I do not call them our boss at this point because you probably do not see them as your “superior”. That is the point I want to make. In our society, it is most politically correct to remind everyone that they are all created equal. Well this leads them to see bosses and others in authority without the distinction these roles do have over us.
God is treated the same way by us at times. Who is he that we must take a second seat to him? Why should God get the praise and recognition when we succeed? Well, He is God! God is not someone who can be controlled by us. He stands above all his creation. We are the creatures he made and we are dependent on him. But God has not left the scene of His creation. God sees and hears us. Communicating with us is no problem for him. We walk each day of our lives with Him able to keep in step with us. He knows our pain and suffering, even our thoughts. Who in all the world is like Him?
The world of unbelievers do not understand or know Him. Instead of Him, they make for themselves different gods to adore and worship. But their idols will not speak to them, nor offer encouragement or advise. The gods of man know nothing about purity, virtue and goodness. These gods merely take on the moral attributes of their creators. They are without life and cannot hear our words, sense our feelings or know our thoughts. How can they even be called by men?
Prayer: Our Father, who is in heaven, help us to know you more completely. You are the only God who has created me and has sustained my life. Nothing produced by my hands or thought in my mind can compare to you. May you alone be glorified in my life and actions.
