A Glorious Reputation

 Scripture:

“You displayed miraculous signs and wonders against Pharaoh, his officials, and all his people, for you knew how arrogantly they were treating our ancestors. You have a glorious reputation that has never been forgotten.” ‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭9‬:‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

As Nehemiah was rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem and re-establishing God’s laws there, the Levites declared their faithful allegiance to the Lord. They spoke the words above concerning who God is.  They said He had a glorious reputation in how He walked with their ancestors. 

Application:

We must see God’s reputation as glorious. Sometimes, when God doesn’t do what we think He should do, we become upset and frustrated with God like little babies. God’s reputation as the waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, and light in the darkness, is perfect. He always comes through, just maybe how or when we want Him to. We must remember God’s glorious reputation when we look at our present circumstances.

Prayer:

Lord God, Your reputation is amazing. Your word is full of incredible stories of Your faithfulness to Your people. You have always brought Your people out of bondage and into freedom. You have always fought battles for Your people. You have always won victories on behalf of Your people. You are amazing and I want to declare Your reputation to the world. Let my life make Your reputation look even better!

Yours Forever,
