Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fully embrace Gods glory in your life? !’ve pondered this for many years as a Christian believer and—to be honest—I don’t know if I ever truly had an answer until recently.

Not long ago, in a message titled “For the Glory,” I shared with a congregation how changing little things in our lives can help us reveal Gods glory. During the service, I asked the congregation . . .

“What do you give God credit for in your life?”

I connected that question with the big things and the little things in life. In preparation for my message I found some things that opened my eyes to seeing more of Gods Glory in life. I shared some of these things with the congregation and then asked them to think about these questions:

“What if instead of teaching our children to say things like ‘I tied my shoe’ or ‘I got a really good grade,’ we taught them to say ‘God helped me tie my shoe’ or ‘God helped me get a good grade.’

What if instead of saying things like ‘I found the love of my life’ or ‘I got the best job in the world’ we said things like ‘God blessed me with the love of my life’ or ‘God blessed me with the best job in the world.’

What if instead of saying things like ‘look at the legacy i have left in my family’ or ‘I won the senior adult bingo game,’ we said ‘look at the legacy God has placed upon this earth’ or ‘God gave me the big win.’ “

That last one got some pretty good laughs. 🙂

When I asked these things, I also challenged everyone to think about their own lives and ask themselves, “Are there little things you can use to remind yourself to give God credit more often?” I know asking myself that question was truly insightful.

Asking ourselves questions like these help us to understand more of Gods role in our lives. They can help us see where God is working in each of our lives. I’ve often heard people refer to “God Sightings.”

Basically, this means looking for where God is working in our lives and asking, “Where is God in this situation?” This helps us understand the revelation of Gods glory in and through us and in the lives of those around us. God’s glory isn’t just revealed in the creation around us or even in the wonderful miracles that take place. Gods glory can be revealed to us and those around us in the little things he blesses us with each day.

So here’s my challenge for you. Ask yourself . . .

Where can I see the revelation of Gods glory in my life today?
