Displaying God’s Glory

May 28, 2013

I love baseball and have been a fan of the sport since I was a little kid. I especially enjoy following the Detroit Tigers. But during a recent season, the Tigers’ poor play and losing record early in the season frustrated me greatly. So for my own personal well-being, I took a break. I spent 4 days avoiding anything to do with my favorite team.

During those 4 Tiger-less days, I began to contemplate how difficult it is to give up things we’ve grown accustomed to. Yet there are times when God may want us to.

For instance, we may be involved in an activity that has become all-encompassing—and we know it would be best to limit it (see 1 Cor. 6:12). Or we may have a habit or practice that we know misses the mark of pleasing God, and we realize that we need to let it go because we love Him and want Him to be glorified through us (15:34).

When we do find things that interfere with our relationship with the Lord, with His help we can stop. God has given us the provision (1 Cor. 10:13), and the Spirit provides the power (Rom. 8:5).

Let’s ask Him to help us not let anything block His glory from shining through.

You are perfect, Lord, and we are so far from
perfect. Please chip away at our imperfections
through the work of Your Holy Spirit. Help us
each day to grow more and more like You.
Drawing close to Christ produces a growing Christlikeness.

Read: Romans 8:1-10

Those who live according to the Spirit, [live according to] the things of the Spirit. —Romans 8:5
Bible in a Year:
2 Chronicles 4-6; John 10:24-42

SPITFIRE 944

In 2005, an 83 year-old World War II pilot is surprised to see
16mm footage of his 1944 Spitfire crash for the first time.

A wonderful story and footage of WWII planes!

I have flown a Texax T-6 (WW2 Era), A 1935 Taylorcraft, and an old 30’s era biplane.

I’ve never had the honor of flying a Spitfire, but I LOVE the way they look.

I am not a licensed pilot, but take the yoke whenever somebody lets me...LOL.
