My flesh and my heart may fail, but you are the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

The dear pants for the flowing streams, so our soul pants for thee, O God.

My soul thirst for God, my flesh paints for the living God. So Lord we come with hunger and longing that you would manifest

yourself to us and be our teacher and our

encourage her and our satisfier in these moments.

Lord, I pray for an anointing. I pray for energy for us all to press on for another hour and I pray that you would be magnified in this room. The evil one and fill us with your holy spirit I pray in Jesus

name, Amen. Let me try to summarize just briefly where we were this morning and then link it to where we were

this morning and then link it to where we're heading tonight. The simple point this morning, at least for

the center of the message was that God does everything for his own glory. And I came to an end with the cross and why he

died and argued that he died there so that his righteousness might be vindicated.

And I pose you this pointed question about what is at the foundation of your experience of the love of God.

And I gave you two alternatives.

One is the pleasure of being made much of by God. And the second

one was the pleasure of God enabling you to make much of him.

And I say it carefully, the pleasure of making much of him, because that leads into where we're heading tonight.

Because I know that when I speak on God's God-centeredness

around the country, the most common stumbling block for people to grasp it and love it is that it doesn't sound

loving for God to be so self-exalting because he has said things about humans that are

self-exalting which are very negative. We ought not to be self-exalting. If you want to imitate God's self-exaltation, you must engage in God exaltation.

Join him in doing what he's doing

and what he's doing is exulting God.

So join him in exulting God. If you compute, and it's a very easy mistake
