A Newfound Glory
Glory is not a word that I often use. When I hear it, I immediately associate it with church. Its dictionary definition is “praise and distinction by common consent.” Debbie Blue, the author of Glory Doesn’t Shine, It Bleeds, associates the word glory with other jealous gods. Gods like Zeus and Aphrodite, who demand constant attention and admiration. But, our God also demands constant admiration. After all, weren’t we created to worship him? And several times throughout the Bible, God is described as a “jealous God”. He even refers to himself as being desirous. In Exodus 20:5, He says “for I the Lord your God am a jealous God”. It doesn’t get much clearer than that.
