The one who is worthy of all glory

  

God deserves all the glory for anything we accomplish!  (Acts 12:23, Revelation 4 and 5)  The Bible consistently warns us not to think too highly of what we do because God alone deserves the glory for whatever we become or attain. 

We live in a society that ascribes way too much glory to men.  Athletes that can hit home runs, drive a golf ball 300 yards, win races, or simply run fast, make millions of dollars and are made out to be idols and heroes.  Successful businessmen who make the top fifty “Forbes” list, glory in their financial clout and even in the Church we often see too much pride and think that we have need of nothing.  On an average Sunday in America there are more people in stadiums, arenas and race tracks than there are in Churches. 

The only one deserving of glory and worship is God!  No athlete, politician, musician or minister anywhere, could accomplish anything were it not for the Almighty that gives them their breath to breathe. 

Sure, we’ve gone to the moon, split the atom and discovered DNA. Yes, we’ve built skyscrapers and computers, invented electricity and the automobile, but who do you think gave us the knowledge and skill?  The scripture says “in God, we live and move and have our being”.  No one has ever done anything great that he can claim as his own doing.  God deserves all the glory. 

When was the last time you lifted your hands and said, “Thou, O Lord, art worthy to receive honor, power, glory and strength”!
