Writing His Name on It

 

Ascribe to the LORD

   the glory due His name...

               Psalm 29. 2

(Give God the glory in this situation,

not claiming our own efforts

      or skills or strength or victory.

The word ascribe in Latin means

            to write.

Are we writing His name at the top

           of our day?

 Attributing the outcome to Him

     ---His work, His purposes,

          His glory, not ours?

Even in the hard stuff,

  may we neither neglect what He is doing,

  nor explain Him away,

       but give Him the glory.

Whether it appears like failure

       or a roaring success,

   we can realize His Presence

                   with us.

 Pointing to His glory

 and not our own accomplishments

      is a strong witness to others.

What kind of person lives like that?

     One who walks with Him.)

O LORD,

We don't have big enough vocabularies

     to adequately ascribe 

             honor and glory to You.

May we bring You glory

     even in the every days,

even in the wild successes,

      which may be the same.

You are enthroned as king

             over our lives.

Jesus over everything.

Help us to not claim glory

   in what is rightfully Yours.
