Let Your Glory Be Over All The Earth

"Be exalted, O God,

above the heavens;

let Your glory be over

all the earth."

Psalm 57:5 (NIV)

It is so important for the church to encourage each other's hearts and unite one another in love, so that we may all have the full riches of complete understanding of Jesus Christ.

Yesterday I went to a Women's Day Retreat at my church and had a wonderful time! Did we have a special speaker? No. We followed one of Group Publishing's manual and we took turns reading from it.  Did we have a gourmet meal? No, it was very simple: soup and salad. Did we have special music and entertainment? No, we sang along to a CD. Why then you may ask was it wonderful? It was because we all encouraged and loved one another. As a result, we each left enriched with a better understanding of the glorious nature of our Lord Jesus Christ here on earth.

"My goal is that they may be encouraged

in heart and united in love,

so that they may have the full riches

of complete understanding,

in order that they may know the mystery

of God, namely, Christ."

Colossians 2:2 (NIV)

The riches we have are not in talents displayed or in wealth. It is all in Christ Jesus, and they are free and simple to obtain. We just need stop thinking about ourselves, and learn to love and encourage one another.
