My Favorite People Radiate God’s Glory

Do you want to experience the glory of God — to behold the glory of Another in humility and hiddenness? Moses did. He said to God, “Now show me Your glory.” Paul declared, “Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

The hope of a Christ-follower isn’t just to cope and get by day after day. It is the hope of glory! That glorious hope is the reality of the risen Jesus living inside of you. It is what “no eye has seen, what no ear has heard and what no human mind has conceived — the things God has prepared for those who love Him — these are the things God has revealed to us by His Spirit.”

If you want to receive rivers of living water that release within you direct ongoing revelation from the Holy Spirit, begin to read the Bible at least 10 minutes every day. Let it work in you and touch your heart. Consistently do what God’s Spirit shows you. Then you’ll begin to daily live in awareness and awe of His glorious presence. Paul said that he thanks God “because when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.”

Christians need to daily read and obey the Bible, not just be Sunday sermon hearers. If I could get Christians to just do one thing, it would be to read the Bible at least 10 minutes every single day with an open, humble heart and then do what it says.

Daily absorb the Bible with your heart. It’s not enough to just analyze it with your mind (or to listen to someone else analyze it for you).

The New Testament
Is testimony
From the earliest
Followers of Christ.
The Bible is meant
To show the lonely
The living Jesus
And His glory.
It’s God’s written Word,
Not just an ancient
Document.
Humbly reading
The Bible daily
Won’t let your heart
Stay stoney.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
