The glory of God.

   Today I was reading in my morning devotions about the glory of God as described in Ezekiel 10.  Ezekiel had the privilege of seeing the visible presence of God and that was a beautiful sight.  The bible calls it the glory of God.  John had the same type of experience when he saw the visible glory of Jesus in the book of Revelation.  I have never seen the visible presence of God but I have seen from time to time angelic beings.  They are something to behold.  The view many have today of the glory of God  is that this is the visible presence of God.  The glory of God is so much more.  Charles Price says that the glory of God is the character and essence of God.  This brings a whole new perspective to this subject.  This means that God wishes to share His character and essence in our lives.  The Bible says that we go from glory to glory.  This means that we go from one experience to another where the character and essence of God is communicated and displayed in our lives.  We are a showcase of God's character.  Each experience whether good or bad is designed to create the character of God in our lives.  My counsel for myself and you is let us be determined to walk by faith and make the best of everything God is trying to develop in us.   Let us display his glory for the betterment of others.
