Psalm 115:1<\/p>\n
Not unto us, O\u00a0Lord<\/span>, not unto us, <\/span>But to Your name give glory, <\/span>Because of Your mercy, <\/span>Because of Your truth. <\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>Why should the Gentiles say, <\/span>\u201cSo where\u00a0is<\/i>\u00a0their God?\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>But our God\u00a0is<\/i> in heaven;\u00a0<\/span>He does whatever He pleases.<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>Their idols\u00a0are<\/i> silver and gold,\u00a0<\/span>The work of men\u2019s hands.<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>They have mouths, but they do not speak; <\/span>Eyes they have, but they do not see;<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>They have ears, but they do not hear; <\/span>Noses they have, but they do not smell;<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>They have hands, but they do not handle; <\/span>Feet they have, but they do not walk; <\/span>Nor do they mutter through their throat.<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup>Those who make them are like them; <\/span>So is<\/i>\u00a0everyone who trusts in them.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nathaniel Appleton was an early American preacher and educator who passed away at age ninety, just after America won the Revolutionary War. One of his sermons is entitled \u201cThe Glory of Converting Grace to Be Given to God.\u201d He said: \u201c[We] must be careful to give all the glory to God. Although you ought to love and honor those that have been the means and instruments of your conversion, and may say as in Romans 10:15, \u2018How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel\u2026\u2019 yet you must look upon them only as the means and instruments\u2026 and must look above and beyond them all to Christ, as the Author and Finisher of your faith; and to His Spirit which has wrought powerfully and effectually in all them that believe.\u201d<\/p>\n The psalmist wanted to make sure we pass all the praise and glory along to the Lord for all He has done. By ourselves and within ourselves, we can accomplish nothing of eternal value. The Lord works through us to achieve His purposes. So let\u2019s learn to say: \u201cNot unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give glory\u201d (Dr. Jeremiah)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Psalm 115:1 Not unto us, O\u00a0Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. \u00a0Why should the Gentiles say, \u201cSo where\u00a0is\u00a0their God?\u201d\u00a0But our God\u00a0is in heaven;\u00a0He does whatever He pleases.\u00a0Their idols\u00a0are silver and gold,\u00a0The work of men\u2019s hands.\u00a0They have mouths, but they do not speak; … Continue reading “33.p. “But to Your name give glory””<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-140982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-daily-prayers"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140982"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140982\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":141064,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140982\/revisions\/141064"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.prayingpint.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
