Tag: What the Bible says about glorifying God with our lives

Psalm 84:11 (NKJV) 11 For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

God is good!

The goodness of God is better than anything else on this earth. His favor is with His children, and if we obey Him we will walk in His grace and glory!

It’s not always easy to obey God’s leading. Sometimes it can be very uncomfortable around certain people and crowds.

But as we stand firm and do what is upright, even in the face of those who will laugh and make fun of us, God will be glorified!

Romans 1:16 (NKJV) 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

We don’t realize the impression we leave on someone who is watching us when we do what is right vs. whatever everyone else is doing.

It may be the only right thing that a person sees in their lifetime that catches their attention and causes them to want to change from the way they have been living.

We just never know what we may unwittingly be doing when we are obeying God and doing what is upright.

Keep up the good work. And know that His favor is with you for life, and joy will come in the morning!

Psalm 30:5 (NKJV) 5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

Amen.

Psalm 23:4 (NKJV) 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

David wrote many of the most-well-known Psalms while crying out to God in times of great desperation.

The words above are a perfect example of that. And the 23rd Psalm is likely the most well-known of all words in the Old Testament.

Why is that?

What is it about Psalm 23 that makes it so attractive to people?

Why is this group of verses so often quoted, even at the funerals of people who were clearly not believers?

Because the words of the 23rd Psalm give hope to those who hear them.

Many of the words that David penned give great hope and encouragement.

Because of the things David faced, he cried out earnestly and with great conviction, begging God to help him and show His favor over his life amid devastating attacks.

David’s words were heartfelt and sincere. He knew His God and understood His faithfulness, no matter what he faced in life.

And that understanding was projected in the words he wrote.

David had a level of trust in God that few know in their lifetimes.

He was not without flaws. He did some things that God was not pleased with at different times.

But in the end, he lived a life that put God first in just about every choice he made, and he did his best to make sure others knew that he served God above all others.

Let each of us also learn to have convictions as strong as David’s, that we might also glorify God in a way that people will remember long after we are gone.
