1 Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory
for your unfailing love and faithfulness.— Psalm 115:1 NLT
Psalm 115:1-8 NLT
Our purpose while we are here on earth is to praise the Lord and to give all the glory to Him. Why does God deserve and expect all the praise? Because it is His “unfailing love and faithfulness” that has saved us and kept us safe this far. We have nothing else to offer God. There is nothing that God needs from us but He desires to hear our praises to Him and to fellowship with us at all times. Our God is the only true and living God. Others worship gods that are lifeless, unable to love and unable to communicate. Others have to go to their gods while our God is with us all the time. He is our foreguard, the One who goes before us. He is our armor and our present help, the One who provides for us and surrounds us with His love and protection. He is our rearguard, the One who washes away every stain from our past. He was with us in the past, He is with us now and is already ahead of us preparing the way. No religion has a god that can make such a claim. Our every thought, word and action should let the world know that “our God reigns” in majesty and in love. Our lifestyles should magnify His glory. As John the Baptist said, “we must decrease so that He can increase” in our lives.
