The Day is Coming

December 30, 2010

Malachi 1:11

For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.

2010 has been a fun year for me and my walk with Jesus, and a significant part of the journey that He has taken me through is a realization that I have no clue just how glorious, how amazing His name is…

I mean I SAY I do…but I also know that if I look at my life, its almost as if I only want God’s glory to be magnificent at certain times in my life…and I ALSO kind of think that the level of Glory he possesses is dependent on me.

Stupid…I know…

But sometimes I try to convince myself that the sin in my life isn’t so bad….which I feel…if I understand the majesty of the Lord…I would never do.

And sometimes I look at the world and I think “If I was God…I would do this different”...which is such a ridiculous thought…but I do it…

And sometimes I look at my life and I think “that wasn’t fair…why would God put me through that…if He really loved me…He would never have done that to me..”

…As if I have a better understanding of love and fairness than the single most powerful, just and loving being in all of the universe.

The truth is…in the depths of my heart…I have a tendency to make God small…out of a desire to make myself big.

And yet Malachi’s reminder this morning was so good for me…just so you know Brian…a day will come…when MY NAME IS GLORIFIED…from the rising of the sun, to its setting, and my name WILL BE GLORIFIED…and WORSHIP WILL HAPPEN…

Just so you know Brian…all of these things around you…every passing second of every day…is inching all of creation towards the day when all it does is glorify the Lord.

And I am so thankful for this…I am so grateful for the journey God has taken me on..

And as we put the lid on 2010 and look to 2011….my prayer is simply this:

That I would see the Glory of the Lord…and KNOW in my heart…the vastness of His love and Glory.

I pray the same for you.
