God's Glory


I spent this morning outside with the Lord in prayer. I was asking him to use me to reach others and allow my family to be of service to Him. 


And, He spoke to me. He said, "Open your eyes and see My Glory." 


So, I opened my eyes and I looked out over our yard... "Where?" I asked God. 


And, then I saw it... a tiny drop of water sitting on one of the potato plant leaves in our garden. Among the dozens of drops of water on the plant leaves in our garden, this tiny little drop shone so brightly; this little drop of water no bigger than my fingernail. 




The sunshine amplified the radiance of this water drop and its splendor was something I have never seen before. 




Bright white brilliance. Clear as crystal. It sparkled like a precious stone.



I was captivated, but at the same time it hurt my eyes to look at it. It flickered and danced a little bit and then God said to me, "Do you see that drop of water?" 


"Yes Lord, but what does it mean?" 



"That is My Glory. It shines so brightly & is so brilliant, yet, see how small that drop of water is?" 


"Yes, I see." I replied.


"Do you understand? It only takes a tiny bit of My glory to light the darkest places of the world. No matter how small you feel, or how insignificant you may think My work is for you, remember, it only takes a tiny drop of Me to reach others."




I feel that God wanted me to share this with our blog readers today. So, this my message to you... No matter how small or insignificant the work you are doing for the Lord may seem, it is not. 


It only takes a "tiny drop" of His glory to illuminate darkness...

Jesus is the light. 
He radiates God's glory and there is no place He cannot reach.


Precious metals & jewels are put to shame by the stunning and radiant glory of the Lord Almighty. His glory is so wonderful & brilliant that Moses could not even enter the Tabernacle because of the Lord's glorious splendor (Exodus 40). The priests could not enter the Temple because the presence God was so glorious (1 King 8:10-11).




His glory is so much greater than we can comprehend, but it only takes a tiny bit of it to reach others. If you are living for the Lord, if you are glorifying Christ & honoring Him in all that you do and in His Work for you, it is not insignificant. His light will reach others & the glory of the Lord will be revealed for all to see. 


We preach that Jesus Christ is Lord, and we ourselves are your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ
2 Corinthians 4:5-6


So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son
John 1:14

The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. 
Hebrews 1:3
