Waiting Here for You, An Advent Journey of HopeÖrnek

GLORY IN THE HIGHEST REFLECTION God has no equal. No rivals. No shortages. No needs. He is before all things and at the end of the day He will be the last one standing. The world is filled with “little g” gods, but our God made the heavens and the earth. No one compares to Him. No one even comes close. So as you wait on Him today, give Him praise. Maybe your circumstances appear to be upside down, but His throne is decidedly right-side up! Praise Him in the waiting. Exalt Him in the wondering. So don’t ask for much today, just keep lifting up the Name above every name. Let that Name ground your heart and still your soul. Let your praise drown out all others who contend for your allegiance and affection. When you do, your very song will lift your thoughts to the very highest place. MEDITATION Glory in the Highest You are the first You go before You are the last Lord, You’re the encore Your name’s in lights for all to see The starry host declare Your glory Glory in the highest Glory in the highest Glory in the highest Apart from You there is no god Light of the world The Bright and Morning Star Your name will shine for all to see You are the One You are my glory And no one else could ever compare To You, Lord All the earth together declares . . . Glory in the highest . . . to You, Lord All the earth will sing Your praise The moon and stars, the sun and rain Every nation will proclaim That You are God and You will reign Glory, glory hallelujah Glory, glory to You, Lord Glory, glory hallelujah Hallelujah Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, Jesse Reeves, Daniel Carson, Ed Cash PRAYER Father, what shall I say to You? You have no equal or rival. My words and my thoughts are so small when compared to You. I have seen the starry night and it cannot hold a candle to Your glory. Expand my faith and give me words as I seek to join the anthem of Your praise. All praise is Yours, now and forever. I will walk in that truth today. I will believe it. And act like it. And pray like it. And give like it. And praise like there is none like You. Amen!
