CASNFCI SCRIPTURE & PRAYER FOR THE DAY

Glorify the Lord

To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen. — Philippians 4:20

Our prayer lives can be summarized by the following alternating prayers such as: “Help me Lord”, “Forgive me Lord”, “Thank you my God”, “Protect me Lord”, “I receive it Lord”, “I take authority”, “Bless me Lord”, Etc. Probably this is true of most of us. But the fact here is that we all recognize that we are forever bringing God our needs and then an appropriate response for closing the loop with a prayer of gratitude.

Yes! Thanksgiving is wonderful and necessary. But so is doxology and it’s not always clear that we do much of this. Doxology is praising God for who he is. It is giving God the glory that is due him for his radiant holiness and righteousness. In Thanksgiving, we offer up gratitude for something we have received. But in doxology, we honor the very being of God. We exalt and praise the Lord simply because he is God.

The word doxology comes from Greek and means “GLORY WORD.” We see God’s glory, and we speak a word of amazement as we send that glory to God.

Doxologies erupted from Paul quite often in his New Testament letters and usually near the end, as we find here in Philippians 4. Doxologies of many kinds should regularly flow from our hearts and lips too.

Our glorious God is worthy of all the glory we can beam back to him.

PRAYER

Lord Almighty, all glory be to you, for the radiance of your holiness, and the beauty of majesty. Hallelujah. Amen.
