Spurgeon Meditations

 

To Him be glory both now and forever.

Pe2 0 18

Heaven will be full of the ceaseless praises of Jesus. Eternity! thine unnumbered years shall speed their everlasting course but forever and for ever to Him be glory. Is He not a Priest I for ever after the order of Melchisedek ? "To Him be glory." Is He not king for ever?--King of kings and Lord of lords the everlasting Father? "To Him be glory for ever." Never shall His praises cease. That which was bought with blood deserves to last while immortality endures. The glory of the cross must never be eclipsed; the lustre of the grave and of the resurrection must never be dimmed. O Jesus! thou shalt be praised for ever. Long as immortal spirits live--long as the Father's throne endures--for ever for ever unto Thee shall be glory. Believer you are anticipating the time when you shall join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are you glorifying Him now? The apostle's words are To Him beglory both now and for ever. Will you not this day make it your prayer? "Lord help me to glorify Thee; I am poor help me to glorify Thee by contentment; I am sick help me to give Thee honour by patience; I have talents help me to extol Thee by spending them for Thee; I have time Lord help me to redeem it that I may serve thee; I have a heart to feel Lord let that heart feel no love but Thine and glow with no flame but affection for Thee; I have a head to think Lord help me to think of Thee and for Thee; Thou hast put me in this world for something Lord show me what that is and help me to work out my life-purpose: I cannot do much but as the widow put in her two mites which were all her living so Lord I cast my time and eternity too into Thy treasury; I am all Thine; take me and enable me to glorify Thee now in all that I say in all that I do and with all that I have."
