Breakfast: Praise, Glory, and Honor

1 Peter 1:6-7

In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Read Chapter 1 of 1 Peter

We cannot know God's ways. He sees the world from a much different perspective than we do. The apostle Peter writes that we suffer grief so that the genuineness of our faith will result in praise, honor, and glory when Jesus Christ is revealed. God works everything to bring Himself glory. After all, He is God!

When I think of the grief that so many have endured over the past 10 months, I have confidence that the end result is to bring praise, glory, and honor to God. As I mentioned above, I do not know God's plans, I just know this outcome. I wonder, however, if maybe God is waiting for the right person or persons to praise Him.

This morning, as we pray, be sure to ask God for help in rejoicing despite Adam's long, painful, recovery process (and for other trials that you may be suffering). Ask that your faith will genuine, and that it will result in praise, honor, and glory when Jesus is revealed.

Praise God for the great progress that Adam has made in recent weeks. And, continue to pray for a smooth transition to Orlando.

    When all God’s children sing out
    Glory, glory, hallelujah
    He reigns, He reigns

See you at lunch time.
