Over the last several months, I have been learning a lot about the glory of God and what that really means for me as a believer. That bringing God glory should be the number one reason for my life, as it is the reason I live and move and have my being.
If you look at the very core of sin, at the heart of man,there you will find him sitting upon his throne of dust, building up a kingdom for himself that is certain to fall. Tozer puts it this way, the natural man who rejects God on the throne unconsciously imitates lucifer himself.
In the garden you can see this demonic trait of man revealed as the representatives for the human race willingly disobeyed God with the hopes that they would become like God. I see this trait revealed today as people fashion God into this loving father who has no authority in their lives as they are unwilling to surrender the throne of their hearts to The King, thus polluting the very meaning of grace.
God has slowly been revealing to me how my pride has been holding me back from totally surrendering my throne. My pride reveals itself in the form of fear, the fear of man. The fear of what my peers will think, the fear of what my family will think, the fear of what my friends will think when they find out that this journey isn't and wasn't just a pre-ordained 11 month trip by God, but the start of the rest of my life. When they find out that the rest of my days will be spent being poured out to bring Him glory. My fear of what they will think when I reveal the inner whisper of my soul to God that faithful night.
I've ran from my calling, I've accepted my calling, He is calling. I was bought at a price, my throne is His, pray that His will will be done.
"If You save me, I'll spend the rest of my life serving You"
