Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. To God be the glory, not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto your name give glory, for your mercy and for your truths sake, Psalm 1151. One of the great words of the Bible is the word glory, and it should be evident that glory belongs to God, not man. Indeed, the very heavens declare the glory of God. Not only do the heavens declare His glory, but His glory is above the heavens, and the glory of the Lord shall endure forever. In heaven, the mighty hosts of angels give unto the Lord the glory due unto His name. It is thus singularly inappropriate for God's servants on earth to seek glory for themselves. Thus says the Lord, let not the wise man glory in His wisdom. Neither let the mighty man glory in His might. Let not the rich man glory in His riches, but let him that glory is glory in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord which exercise loving kindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, says the Lord. This Old Testament exhortation is echoed in the new. God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of him are you in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, that according as it is written, he that glories let him glory in the Lord. As our text reminds us, God manifests His glory to us today in both mercy and truth, mercifully saving us in Christ, who is Himself God's truth. Thus in Christ, mercy and truth are met together, and we shall praise your name for your loving kindness, same word as mercy, and for your truth.
