glory

“Afterthought wisdom” is common, but useless.
Some people are so sure about the way how things would
have gone, if something didn’t happen or did happen in the past.
Martha and Mary express this in John 11 when they said to
Jesus, “If you had been here, our brother would not have died.”
Jesus brought them to another level of reasoning.
He said, “If you would believe , you would see the glory of God.”
Jh 11:40
Without faith man’s life has no glory.
It is just a collection of physical and emotional reactions
randomly looking for some kind of social interaction. Why would
you wake up and go to work , if there is no God?
Why would you continue eating , if you know that everything
will end up in the cemetery in a couple of years?
Without faith man’s glory is just like cheap silver paint
falling off from his proud medals of honor.
Life is not common when you see the glory of God.
Every moment is a glorious manifestation of his purpose.
