You know Martha Stewart And you have heard of Rachael Ray But have you been cooking with Sonia?

A brief review: What has been the main subject of our discussion in the last two weeks? How would you define this term?

A definition for the glory of God: The glory of God is the beauty and excellence of his manifold perfections. It is an attempt to put into words what God is like in his magnificence and purity. It refers to God’s infinite and overflowing fullness of all that is good. The term might focus on His different attributes from time to time—like his power and wisdom and mercy and justice—because each one is indeed awesome and beautiful in its magnitude and quality. But in general God's glory is the perfect harmony of all his attributes into one infinitely beautiful and personal being. Vines defines Glory as "the manifest perfection of His Presence",

SEEING GOD you SAVORING Matthew 13:44

Jonathan Edwards writes: So God glorifies Himself toward the creatures also in two ways: By appearing to . . . their understanding. In communicating Himself to their hearts, and in their rejoicing and delighting in, and enjoying, the manifestations which He makes of Himself. . . God is glorified not only by His glory's being seen, but by its being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it.

GOD you Love, Holiness, and Obedience, is the spillover of being amazed and stunned by the greatness of God!
