No Flesh Shall Glory

God does not want us to worship idols but to worship
Him. We need to acknowledge the power, presence
and authority of God who is at work in our lives. We
are a triune being: body, soul and spirit. As God uses
us as instruments to the Body of Christ we can't make the mistake
and believe that these gifts are ours and others should give us the
glory. We have been created by God to worship Him and when
we don't we will worship something else. Isaiah 42:8 states "I am
the Lord; that is My name! And my glory I will not give another,
nor My praise to graven images. "We need to lift up Jesus. When
we lift Jesus up and seek His face then the glory comes. His glory
will not come when we are lifting up idols or
lifting up a man. We need to return to the
basics and the simplicity of the gospel
and lift up Jesus. The banner needs to
be Jesus. When we deny ourselves, take
up our cross and follow Him then His
glory shines through us and others are
led to Him.
