GLORY

 

GLORY

An angel of the Lord came to earth

to announce Christ, the Lord's, the Savior's, birth.

When the angel appeared, "glory" shone all around

as the dark night was illuminated with this bright light shone

for God's presence had become manifest

to the shepherds, becoming quite obvious.

This angel announced "good news"

bringing "great joy" for all who

would also give glory

when they believe God's story.

Giving God glory

should be our life story.

Suddenly more heavenly hosts appeared

praising God and singing "glory" without fear.

Loudly they proclaimed to the shepherds: "Glory to God in the highest,"

giving praise to the one true God and Lord above the rest.

Glory and honor and power

was bestowed to God that hour.

Giving God glory

will dissipate worry

for the two cannot co-exist.

Useless worry has to exit.

Worry slowly erodes faith.

Giving God glory grows faith.

Whenever God's presence is manifest

darkness becomes light, it's obvious.

Beauty and joy and praise

will occupy your days

when you are able to give God glory.

It will become your life's joyous story.

Giving God glory

instead of worry

will change your attitude

to one of gratitude

for God will reward

when His name is heard.

Worry is doubting God will provide.

It causes one to doubt, not abide.

But when you give God glory

He'll replace any worry,

for God will always bless

when His name you confess.

An angel of the Lord appeared to them,

and the glory of the Lord shone around them,

and they were terrified.

But the angel said to them...

"I bring you good news of great joy

that will be for all the people..."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host

appeared with the angel,

praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest..."

Luke 2:9-10, 13-14

“You are worthy, our Lord and God,

to receive glory and honor and power,

for you created all things,

and by your will they were created

and have their being.”

Revelation 4:11
