1 Peter 5:11- To Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
This was one of the verses considered for tonight's prayer meeting. It may just be a short, 10-word, sentence but man does it hold so much weight..! This verse essentially, or how I see it, talks about submission.
Yes. Total submission.
When the glory is His, it means that none of it is yours. Simple as that. When you are bought with His blood, you belong to Him. Everything you do has the brand of "Jesus Christ" on it. So if something good is done (I guess helping some old granny cross the road counts..), the glory goes to God. If it's something bad, the name of the Lord is shamed along with your sorry face..
Dominion means He has control over everything. The way nature goes; the way the earth rotates; the way a sunset can touch you.EVERYTHING. Guess God never has the trouble of things not going the way He planned it. This is the part that encourages me most as I know He is in control over it all and He would never give us a situation we cannot handle.
Work was busier than usual. Got tired out so quickly. And I was only cutting cakes la.. Can't imagine the work of the food runners and order-takers.( Order-takers? =P )
Maybe it's just my lack of rest these days. Been running around alot and not spending enough time with God and my family. There's still so many things to do this week.. Haiz.. So burned out. Longing for that eternal rest..
3 more days..
