Glory Story
God's Kindness Quest Series
There is a common theme in every God story
Miracles abound in his holy presence and glory
Majestically, he parted the Red Sea
Then destroyed the enemy
Majestically, he fed a prophet using a raven
Led him to a brook and cave for safe haven
Majestically, he crowned a shepherd boy, king
That boy killed a giant with a stone and a sling
Majestically, he healed the blind
So powerful, yet so kind
Majestically, he walked on water
Coming to his children, even when they falter
Majestically, he imparts words which renew the mind
Divine wisdom in his book you will find
Majestically, he eradicates sin
Cleansing your past, no matter how horrific it’s been
Majestically, he retrieves the lost, his daughter, his son
He’ll leave the ninety-nine to rescue one
Majestically, his loving-kindness is revealed in each story
All the books on earth can’t contain his holiness and glory
He's Holy and invites you to be holy too
Receive Holy Spirit and he’ll live in you
Become an extension of his never-ending story
Live as a holy vessel and usher in his glory

Prayer
James 5:16 (NLT), "... The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."
Lord, forgive me for ways I have minimized or discounted the value of your holiness. Seed in me a passion for purity and cleanse me from the inside out. Pour into me a solid foundation of holiness, character, and integrity.
Lord, forgive me for ways I think of the enemy as greater than you. Forgive me for where I think of myself as powerless or weak against spiritual attacks. I ask you to help me understand the authority I have as a child in your Kingdom.
Thank you for showing me ways you have powerfully moved on my behalf. I didn't realize how much you have protected, stretched, loved, and cared for me.
May each day be another exciting adventure of partnering with you to manifest your glory on earth, as it is in Heaven. Protect me from striving, trying to make something happen. As I listen to you and obey your guidance, may your light shine brightly. In you, I trust and have faith. Amen.
