God's Glory
http://bible.us/psa57.11.nkjv Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; Let Your glory be above all the earth. The earth is naturally created to declare the glory of God. No matter the shades of darkness within, a refreshing step without opens the mind to the beauty of the stars. But in spite of all attempts for creation to declare the glory of God, man's gory experiences are mostly twisted to deny God the glory due to His name. However, the attitude of David teaches the secret of retaining the praises of God in times of unexplainable distress and disappointment. Except the focus for glory (from anyone who is anointed for the throne, but somehow get forced to seek refuge in the cave) is fixed on God and not self, no one can ever find reason for God's glory in grievous gory. Irrespective of either mess or mass, we need grace to lose sight on seeking our personal glory, in order to retain the precious sights on God's glory.
