“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name.” — Psalm 29:2
God’s glory is the result of His nature and acts. He is glorious in His character, for there is such a store of everything that is holy, and good, and lovely in God, that He must be glorious. The actions which flow from His character are also glorious; but while He intends that they should manifest to His creatures His goodness, and mercy, and justice, He is equally concerned that the glory associated with them should be given only to Himself. Nor is there aught in ourselves in which we may glory; for who maketh us to differ from another? And what have we that we did not receive from the God of all grace? Then how careful ought we to be to…
walk
humbly before the Lord! The moment we glorify ourselves, since there is
room for one glory only in the universe, we set ourselves up as rivals to
the Most High. Shall the insect of an hour glorify itself against the sun
which warmed it into life? Shall the potsherd exalt itself above the man
who fashioned it upon the wheel? Shall the dust of the desert strive with
the whirlwind? Or the drops of the ocean struggle with the tempest? Give
unto the Lord, all ye righteous, give unto the Lord glory and strength; give
unto Him the honour that is due unto His name. Yet it is, perhaps, one of
the hardest struggles of the Christian life to learn this sentence — “Not
unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy name be glory.” It is a lesson which
God is ever teaching us, and teaching us sometimes by most painful
discipline. Let a Christian begin to boast, “I can do all things,” without
adding “through Christ which strengtheneth me,” and before long he will
have to groan, “I can do nothing,” and bemoan himself in the dust. When
we do anything for the Lord, and He is pleased to accept of our doings, let
us lay our crown at His feet, and exclaim, “Not I, but the grace of God
which was with me!”
