Psalm chapter 115 verse 1

not to us oh lord not to, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness.

Oh, what a beautiful picture.

God's steadfast love and God's steadfast faithfulness toward us for his glory.

Like this is awesome, the design of God,

that he obviously deserves all glory he is God I was having a conversation

recently with someone who was just really struggling with God receiving all

glory and God even doing what he does for his own glory.

As we talked, it just said like, like who else would you rather him glorify?

There is no one else who is worthy of glory,

who's worthy of worship. God is infinitely glorious. There's no one more loving. There's no one more beautiful. No one more awesome. No one more

praise worthy. Like he alone is worthy of glory.

Yes, God is worthy of all glory.

And the beauty that we see in the Bible and the gospel is that God is chosen to glorify himself

by pouring out steadfast love and faithfulness on all who trust in him. So yes, Psalm 115 is or at least should be our prayer,

not to us, oh Lord, not to us or to anyone or anything else for that matter, not to us, but to your name, give glory.

Like we want God to glorify Himself, and we don't want glory yet let's be honest. We like receiving glory.

Like our hearts like receiving praise.

And there's something that's good about this in the sense that

it's good to encourage and affirm one another,

God's grace in each other.
