January 5 - Day 5
God's Honor
Dear Father, to whom all glory and honor is
due,
How sorry I am that men do not honor you as their God and King!
It is to their loss and to their hurt, but it insults you! They
wickedly suppress the truth. Through creation, you have shown them
plainly what can be known about you, so they are without excuse.
Although they know of you, the true God, they do not honor you as
God or give thanks to you as God. Their thinking is futile and
their senseless minds are darkened. Claiming to be wise, they
become fools and exchange your glory, the glory of the immortal
God, for images resembling mortal man or birds or animals or
reptiles.
How awful is your judgment! Because they exchange the truth about
you for a lie and worship and serve the creature rather than you,
the Creator, the holy God, who is blessed for ever, you give them
up to the lusts of their impure hearts, to dishonor their bodies
among themselves.
May I never be so foolish as to trade your glory for my own. In
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, creator and sustainer of the
universe. Amen. |
