Who's Plan & Who's Glory??
I have been pondering all day what to share with you. I kept coming back to one thing. I will share a few concluding sentences from our Bible study last night. It gives us something to ponder and brings tremendous blessing when realized and applied in our lives.
It is important to remember that the Lord's dealings with His people have had single ultimate purpose. And, the shocker though it may be, man is not the center point of that purpose.Thank you Bruce for teaching such a powerful study.
God's plan throughout history is not one for the glorification of man, but for the glorification of God. That's why it is so important not to discern what God's plan for your life is; it's to discern what God's plan is, and then align your life with it.
Our glorification in the end will be a reflection of His glory being manifested; we will bask in the glow of His glory and thereby be glorified ourselves. Think: If the perfect life on earth is one that reflects Christ's life perfectly, then the perfect glory in eternity must be one that reflects God's glory.

This is so true! Thank you! :)
I have always loved the Catechism question, "What is the chief end of man?" I think your post really explains the answer!
Blessings,
Michele :)
