Friday Reflection October 29, 2021
Good morning friends, happy Friday!
Let’s get into the word for today:
Yours, Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord , is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
1 Chronicles 29:11 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/1ch.29.11.NIV
Background
King David had the vision to build a temple for God but because he was a man of war, God had appointmented the great king Solomon to build the Holy Temple of the Lord. Because it was originally David’s birth child, he gave generously toward the building materials. His giving propelled others to give to the said cause.
After everything came together and all the preparations for the building was made, David blessed the Lord along with the congregation in Israel. He lead one of the most joyful prayer of thanksgiving and jubilation in the history of mankind. Verse 11 of 2nd Chronicles 29 is the finial lines of the prayer of praise and thanksgiving.
Yours, Lord , is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
Application
David could have taken credit for all the that he contributed to the building of the temple, but instead he led the people in prayer, praise and thanksgiving unto God. It doesn’t matter how much we work and how much we contribute, at the end of the day God enables us and so he must be praised for all his good works. David understood that and we should too.
What is your reaction like when you have accomplished something great under the hands of God? Do you take the glory? Do you praise someone else other than God for the work done? Brothers and sisters, today I want to remind us that it is God who is deserving of ALL our praise! It is not about us and how much we contribute to his work, the praise and glory belongs to him and him alone!
Today I encourage you to praise God! With a joyful heart. He is deserving of every bit of praise we have!
God bless!
