We complete our alphabet journey of ‘names’ for our amazing God with Zealous!  Our Lord is zealous and desires for us to be as well.  Zeal without knowledge is dangerous–but zeal rightly directed changes everything.  The ‘Zeal of the LORD of Hosts’ delivered Judah from Assyria (2 Kings 19:31), but even greater, that zeal providedContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: ZEALOUS”

Angels announced his birth; faithful saints prophesied of his greatness; his parents pondered all.  The wise men sought and found Jesus as a Young Child…and they bowed down and worshipped Him!  When we consider the Young Child who became our Savior, we, too, will rejoice in His greatness and bow before Him. We will longContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: YOUNG CHILD”

Arriving at “X” in our journey through the alphabet demands some creativity in our spelling!  Oh, but what a glorious view of Christ we will receive.  Our primary text verse comes from Hebrews 1, verse 3: Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things byContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: X-PRESS IMAGE”

Today’s view of the Lord reminds us that He is the source of endless supply:  He is a Well of Living Water.  The nation of Israel experienced many reminders of water’s value.  Palestine receives little rain from May to October; the preciousness of water never fades from view.  Divine provision of water preserved lives inContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: WELL of LIVING WATER”

We live in a noisy world; many sounds contend for our attention.  Although the beloved disciple, John, says the voice of the Lord is ‘great’ and ‘like a trumpet,’ our ears are often distracted by the competing noise.  Like the people of Isaiah’s day, we hear sounds but fail to understand Truth with our hearts. Continue reading “Glory Glimpse: VOICE”

Today’s focus on the Lord will lighten our burdens:  He is the Upholder of all things!  Back at the beginning of our journey, we considered the truth that Jesus is the Bearer of sin.  The freedom in that is the hope of our souls.  Contemplating Christ as the Upholder of All frees us to goContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: UPHOLDER of ALL”

The Tabernacle of God—the Tent, the Meeting Place—is our precious Lord Jesus Christ!  The disciple, John, told us in his gospel that God pitched His Tent—Jesus—with us.  In the Revelation given to John, he shared the vision of the Tabernacle descending permanently as mankind’s dwelling.  The richness of considering Christ as the Tabernacle is moreContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: TABERNACLE”

Our look at the Lord today focuses our eyes on a vital role of Christ—a role that we are to imitate–Servant of the Lord.  Imagine!  The Creator, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, accepted the role of Servant that He might redeem us from the cruel master we rebelliously chose over Him!  WithoutContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: SERVANT”

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.   Hebrews 11:6 Our journey through the alphabet of names for God brings us to an awesome truth with “R.”  God is aContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: REWARDER”

We have an interesting aspect of the Lord to consider today:  He is Quick!  It is not the quick we think of—hurry, hurry, hurry.  The rushing quickness of modern life brings death, but the Quickness of Christ is life giving.  As the Messiah, He has quick understanding of reverence for the LORD.  That quickness allowsContinue reading “Glory Glimpse: QUICK”
