"To
whom be glory forever. Amen"--Romans 11:36
"To whom be glory forever." This
should be the single desire of the Christian. All other wishes must be
subservient and tributary to this one. The Christian may wish for prosperity in
his business, but only so far as it may help him to promote this--"To him
be glory forever." He may desire to attain more gifts and more graces, but
it should only be that "To him may be glory forever." You are not
acting as you ought to do when you are moved by any other motive than a single
eye to your Lord's glory. As a Christian, you are "of God, and through
God," then live "to God." Let nothing ever set your heart
beating so mightily as love to him. Let this ambition fire your soul; be this
the foundation of every enterprise upon which you enter, and this your sustaining
motive whenever your zeal would grow chill; make God your only object. Depend
upon it, where self begins sorrow begins; but if God be my supreme delight and
only object,
"To me 'tis equal whether love ordain
My life or death--appoint me ease or
pain."
Let your desire for God's glory be a growing desire. You blessed him in
your youth, do not be content with such praises as you gave him then. Has God
prospered you in business? Give him more as he has given you more. Has God
given you experience? Praise him by stronger faith than you exercised at first.
Does your knowledge grow? Then sing more sweetly. Do you enjoy happier times
than you once had? Have you been restored from sickness, and has your sorrow
been turned into peace and joy? Then give him more music; put more coals and
more sweet frankincense into the censer of your praise. Practically in your
life give him honour, putting the "Amen" to this doxology to your
great and gracious Lord, by your own individual service and increasing
holiness.
