Prayer Verse

Our prayer verse for this week has been from Jude 24-25

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.

This morning I'm thinking about glory. As in He will present us "before his glorious presence" or "to .. God our Savior be glory". Glory ("very great praise, honor or distinction") might be one of the most frequently used descriptors of God in the Bible. I'm not sure because I haven't counted, but I do see many, many references to God's glory. For example:

Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name. [1 Chronicles 29:13]

Sing to the LORD, for he has done glorious things;
let this be known to all the world. [Isaiah 12:5]

to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. [Ephesians 1:6]

And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. [Philippians 4:19]


Notice that these verses describe His glorious name, glorious things, glorious grace and glorious riches.

Glory!
