Let Me See Your Glory

John 1:14 states “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His Glory, Glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”  The song often goes through my head, “We have seen God’s Glory” and we know that today God’s Glory is Jesus Christ.  He is our focus, He is our refuge, and He is our strength.  As we see Him we see the Glory of the Father.  But I believe we must desire to worship Jesus.

In the case of Mary and Martha, Mary desired to see and focus on Jesus and to have Him control her life because nothing in this world could satisfy.  But Martha was hard at work preparing dinner.  Jesus did not say to her “don’t do that”.  He understood her desire to prepare a wonderful dinner for those present.  But, like many of us, Martha was distracted by her circumstances that she could not grasp the important of being with Jesus.  Her work and service were very important but paled in comparison to being with Jesus. 

May our desire each day be that we want to be with Jesus and focus on Him and follow Him in all our ways.  May we desire to see the Glory of God, His Son Jesus each day we live and not be sidetracked with the trivial things of this world.
