"To him be glory both now and forever" (2 Peter 3: 18).
Heaven will be full of the ceaseless praises of Jesus. To Him be glory. Is He not a "Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek?" To Him be glory. Is He not King forever? King of kings and Lord of lords, the everlasting Father? To Him be glory forever. His praises will never cease. That which was bought with blood deserves to last while immortality endures. The glory of the Cross must never be eclipsed. The luster of the grave and of the resurrection must never be dimmed. O Jesus, You will be praised forever! Believer, you are anticipating the time when you will join the saints above in ascribing all glory to Jesus; but are you glorifying Him now? The apostle's words are, "To Him be glory both now and forever." Will you make it your prayer today? "Lord, help me to glorify You. I have talents; help me to extol You by using them for You. I have time; Lord, help me to redeem it, that I may serve You. I have a head to think; Lord, help me to think of You. You have put me in this world for something. Lord show me what that is and help me to work out my life-purpose. I cannot do much; but as the widow put in her two mites, which were all her living, I cast my time and eternity, too, into Your treasury. I am all Yours. Take me and enable me to glorify You now, in all that I say, in all that I do, and with all that I have."
