Let’s Glorify God

by TerryLema

If there is a question we should be asking right now, it is, how do we glorify God in the midst of this crisis?”

And yes, it is a crisis in the sense of the definition: a time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger.

No matter how this crisis began, it is ours now. As Christians we should be leading the way. We should see this as opportunity to do good and to show courage and strength amid all the fear around us. We can use Abraham as our model. Paul wrote of him, “He did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.” [Rom 4:20-21 NIV]

Abraham believed God for the son God promised him, even though he and Sarah were way beyond child-bearing years. God fulfilled His promise to Abraham.

God will fulfill His promise to us. This is a good time to show those in bondage to fear, those who are acting out their fears with inappropriate behaviors, that our God is good and that we glorify Him when we believe His promises.

Ps 9:9-10: “The LORD is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.”

Ps 119:114: “You [LORD] are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.”

Heb 13:5-6: “For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’ So we may boldly say: ‘The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man [or disease] do to me?’”  

 Indeed, let’s be brave and glorify God … He is our refuge, shield, hope, stronghold, and ever present help.
