Day 7- "Glorious"

Day 7- "Glorious"
How do you begin with a word like "glorious?" Whenever I think of glorious I connect it with a few other words, such as splendor, majesty, wonderousness, etc. However, glorious passes all of those. So, perhaps I should try and connect it with a different word a word we may not often see connected or associated with glorious. The word is weightiness. Huh? Now maybe your scratching you head going, "OK I was cool with the whole, 'I, Paul, bend my knee' thing but I'm not gonna go with 'out of his fat riches!'" However, weightiness does not necessarily mean fat. What I mean by weighty is what is meant when we say, "That guy/gal throws his/her weight around." Does that mean that person is fat? No, it means that they have power and influence and they can use their "weight" or "pull" to cause others to be of use to them. Perhaps instead of Weightiness we could use the term "influentially convincing." Strong's defines glory with words like, "one's own pleasure, to think, splendor." Yes, all of the above. You see the primary thing is that we understand that God is the epitome of gloriousness, and therefore if anything is "His" (see yesterday) it will also be filled with His glory (or His pleasure, thoughts, influence, weightiness, or splendor). The riches we are going to talk about tomorrow would be meaningless except for the word glorious that is connected to them because of necessity. If Jesus God = glory then do we want anything else than glorious riches? I personally only want what has been blessed by the hand of God and is therefore glorious. I am truly tired of the Church squandering its time and energies on less than glorious things and as a result we are falling apart. We've lost sight of the gloriousness of Christ and have in turn also compromised our love and hunger for things that are glorious--because God has blessed them. Let us seek things that are glorious and noble and upright. In that way God receives more glory. When we seek glorious things it isn't with the intent of us becoming more glorious, it is with the intent that we might be closer to God as a result.
