Number 14:22 (AMPC) says, But truly as I live and as all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord,22 Because all those men who have seen My glory and My [miraculous] signs which I performed in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tested and proved Me these ten times and have not heeded My voice.
God spoke these words to Moses after the children of Israel refused to trust Him to take the land that He had promised them. He mentioned that they had tested Him ten times since leaving Egypt. The Israelites constantly complained, murmured, and failed to trust God despite repeatedly witnessing His glory and experiencing many miracles. Nevertheless, God remains determined to have His glory fill the whole earth, and His plan to achieve this includes each and every one of us.
6 For it is the God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
Whenever you operate in the giftings, callings, and abilities that God has given you, you release the Glory of God. This makes you a "Glory Carrier," and God desires for His Glory to fill the earth.
II Corinthians 3:18 (NKJV) 18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as [a]by the Spirit of the Lord.
God’s Master Plan is to use us to release, display and fill the earth with His Glory in the earth.
Psalms 115:16 (KJV) says, The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
It's worth asking yourself whether you might be preventing the flow of God's Glory by refusing to trust Him to release the gifts and abilities that He has blessed you with. What is holding you back from releasing the Glory? Remember, the Kingdom has need of you, and it's up to you to step out in faith and use your God-given gifts to bring Glory to His name.
Ephesians 3:20 (KJV) says, Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding and abundantly above all that you ask or think according to the power that works in you.
I want to encourage you today to release the gifts that God has placed within you. Whether it's writing a book, starting a business, preaching the gospel, or painting a portrait, ask yourself: what has God placed inside of me? What am I being stirred in my heart to do? We have all been given gifts and abilities that God wants us to use to bring Him Glory. So don't hold back; step out in faith and fulfil God's calling upon your life.
Remember this:
Isaiah 43:6-7 (NKJV), I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; 7 Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.
You have been created to bring God Glory in the earth!
