The glory of God

We were created for God's glory and therefore I believe we are a part of His Glory as well as part of the plan to display His glory. His glory is just who He is, no one else can be Him, he is besides any other. His awesomeness is self evident. So, I do not believe God is at all concerned about us taking His glory for ourselves, because we cannot. Any thought of that is bordering on becoming like Lucifer himself and we know how that turned out, it never took long at all.
However, being a little overzealous and maybe overtaken with a little pride-which can be very dangerous, by the way- does not automatically put one in this category. God does not have an ego problem nor is He over sensitive or feel threatened by our ambitions.
Consider if you will scriptures such as " I will not share my glory with another" Isaiah 42:8 and others and you will see as you read along that God was not refering to us wanting to share in His power and majesty but rather to anyone or thing seeking to take His place as God. He says He will not have it for His name sake, no way for He alone is God! When last to you think to your self ' I wanna be God, He does not know how to do this thing right, I could do a better job?' Sometimes our attitudes saying that without us realizing it but but not so from our hearts. Thank God for His Grace and merc! But He is just saying , no other Gods besides Him.
Yet we beat up on our selves and on each other about glorifying our selves. We were created to be like Him in righteous and true holiness, we will reign with Him, He wants us to partake of His devine nature to be like Him, iy is all about heart!
Do not be caught in the religious trap my friend, stand fast therefire in the liberty where with Christ has made you free!
God bless!!
