The Glory of Creation
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2Co 4:6
Just got back from at trip to Gatlinburg with a group of WONDERFUL people and it was great! I thank the Lord so much for speaking to me while I was there. The whole time we were there everyone was going on about how the Lord had made all the mountains and how grand they were. This is true and I am awed at the gloriousness of the mountains that we hiked in. However, throughout the entire trip the Lord kept gently reminding me that the work of creation that He has done in my own heart is far greater than what He created in the beginning.
He kept reminding me that He is going to receive more Glory for redeeming me and ultimately conforming me to the image of His Son than He will from the Smokey Mountains. How humbling it is to know that God chosen me to me to bring Him more Glory than all the world and it’s beauty. It has left me wondering with the apostle John “What kind of wild, strange, exotic love is this that I may be called a Son of God?”
