Make this our Motto!


Not to us, O Lord, not to us, but to your name give glory,    for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!
What a way to begin a song!  The psalmist goes on to constrast the LORD God with all false gods and idols.  He is sovereign; they are senseless and lifeless. He then exhorts God's people to fully trust in God and receive His blessings, the blessings of faith.  But it all begins here: "In God we trust," but also: "To God be the Glory." The two must go together.  We can trust Him, and give Him the glory because of Who He is and what He is like: faithful and acting out of love for us. May we go through this day, and this life trusting Him and sincerely wanting Him to have the glory!
