Because
He Accepted The People's Worship
Instead
Of Giving The Glory To God.
So
He Was Consumed With Worms And Died.
Scripture
Acts
12
23 Instantly,
an angel of the Lord struck Herod with a sickness, because he
accepted the people’s worship instead of giving the glory to God.
So he was consumed with worms and died.
Observation
I
am not a king but I think I see a clear message for me in this story!
God should always get the glory in my life not Eddy! I don't know
about you, but being consumed by a bunch of worms sounds like a
terrible way to go! It gives me the creeps just thinking about it.
We
don't have to be a king to try to get the glory for ourselves. In
fact, every day we have the choice of whether we are going to live
that day for the glory of God or live it for ourselves.
1
Corinthians 10:31
So
whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for
the glory of God.
Application
I
will live out this day for the glory of God and not my own.
How
about you?
Philippians
2:5-11
7 Instead,
he gave up his divine privileges;
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
he took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,
9 Therefore,
God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
and gave him the name above all other names,
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know that I have a choice today. I can live today in a way
that brings You glory or I can choose to live it for myself. Help me
make the right choice. I don't want to miss what You have in store
for me today. Guide me in the right direction. Don't let me get
sidetracked with my own stuff. Put on my heart what You want me to do
for You so that You get the glory.
I
pray for our country today. I pray for our leaders. I pray for our
president. I pray for healing.
