• Thinking.

  Contemplating.

  Musing.

  Praying.

  Seeking.

  I've been been thinking about many things...

  Thinking about God...Thinking how I can glorify Him today... thinking about life...thinking about death... thinking how I can help others understand God's love... thinking about pride vs. humility...thinking about God's name...thinking about the devastation of sin... thinking about my proneness to try to perform for my own righteousness... thinking about God's amazing grace... thinking about His love and mercy... thinking about truth vs. lies... thinking about glorifying Him... thinking how I can love Him today. I've been thinking about many things.

  I've been reading an excellent book about knowing God. It's called, "Lord, I Want to Know You" by Kay Arthur.

  The entire universe was created for God's glory. We are designed for His glory! As I've contemplated I've asked myself, "What does this really mean or entail?" Listen to what Ms.Arthur wrote:

  According to Isaiah 43: Elohim, the One who made man (male and female, Gen. 1:27) in His image, created you for His glory.

  One day I was studying what God's Word says about the husband-wife relationship. I decided that since "woman is the glory of man" (I Cor. 11:7), I should look up the meaning of the word glory. In the Hebrew language it means "to give the correct opinion or estimate of." I saw that as a woman I am to treat my husband in such a way as to give a correct opinion or estimate of him as a man.

  Can you see how awesome it is to know that you have been created for God's glory? That you are to live in such a way as to give all creation a correct opinion or estimate of who God is? What does that mean to you, O child of God, who is called by His name? Think about it. How would you live if you were to live for His glory? (Kay Arthur, Lord, I Want to Know You, pg. 12)

  How would I live today if I were to live for His glory? Let us think about it?
