To You Be The Glory, Lord, In This Life.

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:12

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you noticed how much time you don't spend focusing your life in the direction that God wants to?

I get so caught up in the glam, 

fame, 

money, 

relationships, 

and education

that I ultimately leave God trailing behind. 

But, He should not be far behind, 

not even behind at all. 

He is the one that should be leading me into this world, 

nothing else. 

I need to keep our eyes focused, 

but focused on the heavens.

This world is not my home

I am just passing through. 

and soon I will be face to face with GOD THE FATHER. 

Let Him say, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

Ask yourself this, do I want that? 

The answer of course is up to you, but if you answered yes... 

Pray

Pray Hard.

Ask God to take control over your story, 

to take away your desires of this world,

to guide you in His plan for your live. 

Our goal on earth is to live for Christ. 

Do not let things stand in your way. 

Remember that this is only temporary,

Heaven is coming. 

And we want to be ready. 

To You Be The Glory, Lord, In The Constellations

"By the word of the LORD, the heavens were made, their starry host by the breathe of his mouth." -Pslams 33:6

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If the earth were a golf ball, Canis Majoris would be the height of Mt. Everest."

Imagine little old me, 

not even a speck on the golf ball. 

But, God still cares about me. 

Watching the planets go by, we aren't even that special. 

But that sun, the light, the warmth

186, 282 miles per second.  

In 8 minutes, light travels 89 million miles, to touch your skin here on earth.

It is one million times bigger than the earth. 

Like Louie, I too shrink the good shrink. 

I can't even imagine that the God who created this amazing universe

created me.

You. 

By His breathe, all of this was spoken into existence.

He is a God of might,

power,

glory, 

awe, 

wonder. 

We worship the God of the heavens. We worship a big God. 

All of the problems in this privileged world have become less, 

and God,

Bigger.   

For a God who created this, my problems are nothing. 

I can trust in the Creator, and be confident that I matter. 

There is none like Him, so we should worship him that way. 

Just remember, you can fit 7 quadrillion earths inside Canis Majoris. 

To You Be The Glory, Lord, In The Sky

"He is like the light of morning at sunrise on a cloudless morning, like the brightness after rain that brings grass from the earth." - 2 Samuel 23:4

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The waves crash upon the sand, as I walk hand in hand with the Father;

the light has not yet surfaced, only a sliver over the far away horizon. 

The sky is painted with all different hues, and not the regular, plain old blue. 

Rather, yellows and orange, a little pink too. 

The light is growing stronger now, making the sky light up with gladness; today is a new day. 

With the wind blowing softly, I almost hear a whisper saying, "I made this for you." 

I closed my eyes to take in the smell of the salt, the warmth of the sun, and the sounds of the birds. 

With arms open wide and a smile on my face, to You be the glory, Lord.

The thunder rages, and the rain pours. The drops, both big and small, land all around me. The clouds are displaying the work of our Lord. How the droplets stay up in the clouds until the time is right, then falling to the earth; failing to water the soil in which the plants grow. 

As the clouds disappear, a sign, covenant appears in the sky. 

Red,

Orange,

Yellow, 

Green, 

Indigo, 

and Violet. 

I hear the whisper again, "I made this for you." And with the smell of the fresh rain and the wet grass. My arms are open wide and a smile on my face, to You be the Glory, Lord.

As the night time sky overcomes the light, the stars begin to show. 

Countless in number, beautiful and complex, the Lord's handiwork shown to everyone. 

Though scientists study the sky, they have seemed to miss the whisper that I hear everywhere I go...

"I made this for you."

He made the world beautiful, so that I could stand in awe; 

in awe of His glory and praise His name forever. 

Forever, until He comes again, forever

So until forever, I will choose to give the glory to the Lord and only the Lord. He is the creator of things beautiful and complex. Creator of this world and beyond to the numerous galaxies that lay far beyond our boarders. 

With my arms open wide and a smile on my face, to You be the Glory, Lord.

Hello Readers,
I thank you for making it all the way through my first post. As you can tell, I am kind of new at this, but I ask that you will give me a second chance. Throughout my posts, I hope to capture the Glory of the Lord in words, despite how hard that may turn out to be. I ask you to take this journey with me and experience God in new ways. 
To God be the Glory!
