“He sends his command to the earth; his word runs swiftly. He spreads the snow like wool and scatters the frost like ashes. He hurls down his hail like pebbles. . . . He sends his word and melts them” (Ps. 147: 15–18)
Wow! His Word does so much, but as I read this I thought wow, how seriously ought we be taking His Word? HIs Word is not just something we have the option of reading, but it is so powerful that it controls. Does His Word control you? I do not mean control in the sense that you have no choice in the matter, rather does His Word so influence (control you ) that you do that which pleases Him because His Word has changed your heart. He has much work to do in me, I do however long more and more for the time where His Word is such a delight to me that doing anything contrary makes me mourn!
"For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome" 1 John 5:3

Show me Thy Glory
Moses, in Exodus asks God to show him God's glory ! Just what does that mean? God's glory is the outward manifestation of His inner reality. Next we wonder how is it that we can see His glory! How does God choose to reveal Himself to mankind? Hebrews 1 , I believe answers this well , : He(Jesus) is the radiance if God's glory and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. After making purification for sins, he sat down, at the right hand of the Majesty on High" Hebrews 1:3 So Jesus is the glory of God, for we believe He is God. So this being true, how do we see His glory? We see His glory in the incarnation of Christ (John 1:14), the crucifixion of Christ(Luke 24 26), the resurrection of Christ, ( 1 Peter 1:21) and the exaltation of Christ (1 Timothy 3:16) . Do you desire to see His glory ? Turn your eyes upon Jesus --Hebrews 12:2
