Glory

A frosty start to the day

Have a look at Psalm 29 in tomorrow’s Lectionary. Does that glory language discourage us from being vain or narcissistic or pompous or thuggish? Surely it must because glory belongs to God, not to any of us human race. But experience makes me wonder if that’s true, because many people who claim to serve God are quite fond of their own glorification.

And I too am always cheered up when someone has seen something I tweeted. Maybe the platform reduces us to being ‘likes’ engines.

God give me a realistic idea
of my own worth,
not above the rest of humanity
,
but because I am human,
for we are all made and loved
by you.
