You must grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. All glory to him both now and forever. – 2 Peter 3:18(NLT)
GLORY ONLY TO CHRIST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whatever you do in obedience to God
It will bring him glory and applaud
Remember that you are nothing without him
Everything you have is part of his blessings.
You must grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus
It will free you from pride and from being pretentious
Give him all the credit for every little thing you receive
Repent fast when you sin and he will surely forgive.
How often do we acknowledge the grace that we receive from Christ? Many believers run to him when they are in trouble. They get helped and they easily forget the grace they got. The bible talks about the ten lepers in Luke 17:11-19. Jesus healed ten and only one gave him praise and thanksgiving.
We are summoned to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus and expected to give him all the glory now and forever. Whenever we take the merit of his grace to ourselves, we show ungratefulness. Christ expects us to receive his grace and acknowledge his generosity. When we have a thankful attitude, we are giving him praise and glory. When was the last time you thanked him?
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for all your blessings.
REFLECTION
How do you give praise to God?
