So now we find out why God has given us our inheritance-- so that we might be to the praise of His glory. It reminds me of Abraham who was blessed to be a blessing to all nations. But why would God choose me before the foundations of the world to be to the praise of His glory? Why not send angels to magnify His glory? I guess He does do that sometimes. And the heavens also declare the glory of God.
I keep running into this humbling feeling while reading this chapter. I don't feel like I am living to the praise of His Glory. I know that how I feel is not the only important thing and yet there is some truth to this feeling of humility. The only conclusion I can draw is that I am a work in progress. Thanks be to God who has not given up on me yet.
only by the will of God,
Jonathan
