    About this ebook

    Our Glory is His is a book about finding peace, purpose and joy in a hurting and broken world. It is a book of discovery that will challenge you to think harder, pray longer and draw closer to the Creator of the universe. Life was created out of, and for God's Glory. Jesus came to show us what Glory looks like and He died in our place to conquer sin and death so that we could experience Glory again. This book is an invitation to rediscover God's best for you. God's best is to experience His joy by becoming lamps that reflect His Glory. Our Glory is His.

      This book is dedicated to my friends who have been told by the world that they are not good enough. Not smart enough, not attractive enough, not talented enough. I have Good News for you. The Lord loves you. He loves you so much that He wants to exhibit His Glory through broken ordinary weaklings like you and me. You were made to be a lamp for God’s Glory. It’s time to believe…

      Note from the Author

      The book that you are holding is another step in an exciting journey that I have been on with the Creator of the Universe. This project began as a personal Bible study on the concept of glory. As I worked my way through the hundred’s of Bible verses pertaining to glory, I began to realize that the Glory of God is like a key that unlocks the rest of Scripture. It is the glue that holds everything together.

      One of the best ways to explain difficult concepts is through the use of similies. Jesus did this when He related deep spiritual truths to the familiar in His parables. For instance, Jesus said that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a tiny mustard seed that grows into a large tree for birds to perch in (Luke 13:18-20). He also said that the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant who sold everything that he had to live on to buy a pearl of great worth (Matthew 13:45).

      This book is a potpori of thoughts and analogies that have helped my finite mind understand the infinite Glory of God a little bit better. These thoughts and analogies have taken the form of the eight book chapters that follow. The first seven chapters end with a few key points and questions to encourage you to dig a little deeper and to spend a few moments in personal reflection. It is my sincere prayer is that this book will spark some good conversation and encourage you to search the Scriptures to discover the source of all Glory. Our Glory is His.

      Foreword

      Ricky Maye

      Peter hears a voice calling out.

      Water shoving its way into his mouth; rain hitting his head so hard that he thinks he might not make it. Faintly his ears are overwhelmed by the sound of hope calling out his name from in the midst of the storm.

      We've played this scenario over thousands of times in Christendom. The picture is carved onto Bibles and has been painted by some of the greatest artists. Some of the greatest sermons and literary works were carved into Christian history by men of God searching into the heart of this passage.

      We are always caught in this moment with Peter as he fell into the water fearing for his life, calling out the name of Jesus.

      I know what you’re thinking. This story seems oddly familiar. Yes, despite the over-publicized doubt of Peter I honestly believe that we all have faced this moment. A moment of uncertainty, a moment of doubt, a time when the storm was more powerful than you anticipated.

      I think it's important to note the whereabouts of Jesus during Peter’s life crisis. Jesus is with him. Jesus is in the midst of this storm. The Savior is on the water; a place of exposure and vulnerability. He is there in the middle of our mess, in our storm. His Glory intercepting our humanity, writing on our heart, Here lies Jesus.

      Peter in that moment, on the water, scared for his life, experienced a visitation with the Glory of God. Some have disciplined themselves for years to get to a specific point of perfection, enlightenment or holiness" so that they could experience what Peter experienced that day.

      Is there a better story?

      This is incredible. It's life changing. It's mind-boggling. Jesus is standing with Peter despite the trouble. When all your friends run scared or when everyone has a bad word, He is there in the midst of the storm.

      The word Glory in the Hebraic language is often translated Kavod or Kabod and is translated weight.

      Theologians and writers often focus on how Kavod -- that weighty Glory -- is God's presence during occasions when He interacts with mankind.

      Allow me to go deeper and broader as I did with a small group of young believers a few years ago.

      Glory cannot be contained, nor can it be limited. This weighty Glory is not something we can only experience in prayer and worship. This weight, the weight of His Glory, is a result of a direct interaction between you and God.

      Have you ever had a breathless feeling? You knew the words but couldn't get them out, or perhaps a moment of fear? Perhaps it is a moment of unspeakable joy?

      That's Glory. At that moment God's Glory has rested upon you with such weight that you can’t even speak. Church isn't the only place where we can experience God or his Glory.

      Listen to how people express themselves when they experience an extreme activity or a beautiful expression of Glory.

      I've never felt so alive.

      I can't put what I experienced into words.

      "It was so beautiful, I feel like God
