To glorify God and enjoy Him forever

God slew the Egyptians to display His glory. God is concerned about his glory. He will go to great lengths to display his power, holiness, love and beauty. Not because His an egomaniac, but so that men will know that He is the LORD (Ex 14:4,18). The glory of God is his reputation and his presentation. Occasionally He will break into history (or into our lives) with some mighty display of power, beauty or love designed to convince us that He is Lord. These displays are usually overwhelming. Moses had to be hidden in a rock as God’s glory passed by (Ex 33:18-23), Isaiah was undone (Isa 6:5), Daniel was ill after seeing the manifestation of the Lord (Dan 8:27). Even our experience of His magnificent creation in nature must be limited, buffered, lest we die of “exposure.” Because of this God condescends to us and manifests Himself in ways that won’t kill us. In these latter days God is glorified through His Son (Joh 1:14), His Spirit (Joh 16:14) and His people (Mat 5:16). When people interact with you do they come away glorifying God? Are you a representation of His love, power, holiness and beauty convincing the world that He is Lord?
