Pure Glory

by Hazel Straub

Those who prosper in the kingdom of God, kill their fleshly desires daily and live by Holy Spirit. They kneel before the King of kings, focus on him and what they can do to please him, not on themselves. God gets all the credit for the blessings, growth and fulfilled promises  in their lives. They come under the covering of God’s guidance, submitting, following and flowing with his plans, not their own. They embrace correction from a tender heart and forgive others, not seeking revenge or exalting themselves but turning back to God, with all their hearts. They follow and listen to the voice of their Good Shepherd, resting in lush pastures and drinking living water. All he has accomplished for them, they receive with gratefulness and they give him the glory and praise for their prosperity.
