“Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle!” ~ Psalm 24:7-9 (ESV)
My friend Laurel had a quote on her blog last week that really struck a cord with me. The quote was about ‘Glory’…I could not stop thinking about the quote by Paul David Tripp (see the quote on Laurel’s blog here). Do you know how Webster defines glory? Definition 1a) praise, honor, or distinction extended by common consent : renown b: worshipful praise, honor, and thanksgiving (giving glory to God)…I tell you – there is nothing better than to praise His name and see His glory 😛 …This week I am thankful for…
- ..the Glory of the Cross – yes to some it might be offensive, but to me and all who believe – it is Glory in the highest…
- …releasing something to God that had me in the stronghold for such a long time. Glory to Him Who set me free from it. It is wonderful to let go of things and leave it at the food of the Cross, finally…
- …my MP3 player. Now you are thinking “huh”? Oh, I just love to sing His praise when listening to music. Last week I stepped outside with my MP3 player blaring “Mighty to Save”. It good my feet dancing in the backyard (I think hubby though I lost it). But what can you do when something just was made clear to you through His Word? Nothing but dancing – right?…
- …for my attitude adjustment at work. Did anything change at work? Nope – just my attitude. I rather glorify His name than having a pity party – thank you Lord – I needed that adjustment…
- …for friends that glorify His name with me at Laced with Grace. This time, I want to thank Lynn. Lynn you rock!!!! Not only as a prayer warrior, but also as a friend, confidant and especially as His daughter. Your humble spirit is beautiful…
- …for giving up things that were really dear to my heart. But sometimes we need to let go of things that we love in order to be free to follow Him with all our heart, mind, body and soul (I will write about it in my next devotion at Laced with Grace)…
- …and of course I am thankful for my Sweetheart and His support. Glory to God for a loving husband…
What are you thankful for this week? Would you like to share with us? Just leave your link below. I just want to quickly explain that the link to sign up on is open until Saturday morning every week. After that, I import the links to my blog and all the links are permanent with each Thankful Thursday post 😛 .
Now I just have to figure out why in the world I do not get email notifications on comments. I upgraded this past weekend to the new WP and now I no longer get emails *sigh*. Oh well…the devil ain’t keeping me down…
Thanks for stopping by today. Blessings to you and your precious family…
