Give God the Glory

Give God the glory.

1Co 1:25  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 
1Co 1:26  For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 
1Co 1:27  But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 
1Co 1:28  And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 
1Co 1:29  That no flesh should glory in his presence. 
1Co 1:30  But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: 
1Co 1:31  That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

Php 3:7  But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 
Php 3:8  Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 

Php 3:9  And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 

We tend to have too low an opinion of ourselves, or too high of an opinion. The world system seeks to glorify man, his thoughts and achievements. while ignoring our purpose in God. What we are to do and achieve is all to bring glory to God who created us. The parable of the talents (Matthew 25: 14-30) shows us that we are to increase what God has given to us. This increase is from what God has given to us to use for his glory. In the church world we speak of empowerment, we do not like the thought of being weak, but first we must be emptied of "self", and this is so hard to do. Through the power of the Holy Spirit we make a difference. How many times has the Spirit given to us power and abilities that we did not have of ourselves? Amazing grace we receive and we give all glory to God.
