Glorying In God
What does it mean “to glory” in life?
But are there things that can cause strife?
To glory is natural to both God and man,
The challenge is for us to fully understand.
The danger for the wise is to glory in his wisdom
But wisdom is limited and does not bring true freedom.
The wise can be so caught up with his own thoughts,
And soon in his foolish pride he is truly caught!
The mighty man boasts in the strength that he has,
He feels powerful and in his might he finds his rest.
Then he comes across and enemy who has more power,
He is defeated and he feels shame in that sad hour.
The wealthy man takes pride in what he owns,
He is so rich, he does not borrow, he only loans!
But wealth is often fleeting and it can disappear,
And with the loss of wealth, there are only tears.
Blessed is the man who makes his boast in the Lord,
He may not have many things, but he has faith in God.
In this faith he finds great delight in every day,
God’s glorious blessings cheer him all the way!
