Many traditional Christmas songs are about God’s glory. It’s a central theme because Christ’s birth was the revelation of the glory of the Lord. The Bible says “the glory of the Lord shone around” (Luke 2:9) and the angels shouted “glory to God in the highest” (Luke 2:14).

Moses said, “Please show me your glory.”

Exodus 33:18

But why wait until Christmas to seek God’s glory? Mark Lee, the guitarist for Third Day, wrote about their song “Show Me Your Glory” in the liner notes of their album. He said, “Both Moses and Peter shared similar experiences. God revealed Himself to Moses and Peter witnessed Jesus in all His glory at the Transfiguration. Their lives were never the same. I think that is what happens with all Christians on some level. We get a glimpse of how awesome God is and can’t ever again settle for the ordinary things of this world.”

This holiday season, seek more of God’s glory…but don’t let it stop at Christmas. Continue every day into the coming year to discover how awesome God is and let it transform you. Pray, too, for the people of the nation and its leaders to really see and seek the salvation available through Christ.
