Glory To No Other (Daily Devotional)

Greetings and welcome to Living Supernaturally. Thank you once again for giving us this opportunity to minister God's word and to spend a few moments in prayer. This week, we've been talking about the glory of God and today, we'll talk about glory to no other. Ephesians chapter 3, verses 20 and 21, ‘now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church of Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever, Amen.’ Today, the declaration glory to God alone resonates as a clear call to glorify God completely in salvation and in all things. In telling Israel of how He was sparing them from destruction and giving them new prophecies, God says, for my own sake I do this. How can I let myself be defamed? I will not yield my glory to another. God will not give His glory to another because all glory, honor and praise belong to Him alone. God will not allow humans to take credit for what He does, as if it were our own skill, wisdom and power that deserves the praise. God will not give His glory to another because it is immoral for someone else to take credit for something that he or she did not do, whether it's cheating on a test or plagiarizing a book. King Herod made the mistake of trying to appropriate God's glory. Herod wearing his royal robes sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. They shouted this is the voice of God and not a man. Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down and he was eaten with worms and he died. The Lord our God is worthy to receive all glory, honor and power. His glory is such even the heaven's mightiest angels cannot look fully upon Him. So, there is no boasting in His presence. God will not give His glory to another which makes Jesus's high priest prayer all the more astounding because in it, Jesus prayed and now Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had before the foundations of the world. Three things to note here, Jesus prayed to the Father, Jesus lays claim on His previous glory, Jesus asserts that His glory was that of the Fathers. The Holy Spirit graciously uses many people to bring us to Jesus and to strengthen our faith. Praise God for them while giving glory to God alone. Let's pray, Father, we thank you for your word that is so clear and so powerful. Lord, this is our heart's desire that as your children, in every area of our life that we will give you all the glory and all the honor. We thank you for using us, help us to humble our hearts and to know that everything comes from you and to you Lord, in Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
