JESUS IS GLORIFIED WHEN OUR PRIDE IS MORTIFIED AND OUR SPIRITS ARE HUMBLED. It is the Spirit's office and work to glorify the Lord Jesus; this He does by discovering to us our wretched and ruined state, and leading us to Him to crave salvation as a favour at His hands; by daily emptying us and leading us to Him for all we need; by giving us to see that all God has created cannot satisfy an immortal spirit for one moment of time, but that there is enough in Jesus to satisfy throughout eternity. Jesus is glorified when we mourn over sin, and wash in the fountain of His blood; when we renounce our own doings and feelings, and desire to be found in His righteousness alone; when we refuse to look to any other quarter for help, relief, or comfort, but to Him; when His dear name fills all our songs and when we long to have a crown to cast at His feet, and a harp that will sound forth His praise. "He shall glorify Me." This decrees the death of pride, self, and creature confidence. Beloved, whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all to the glory of Jesus. He is Lord of all.

For Meditation:
Lord, draw my heart from earth's vain way,
Attune me daily to Thy call;
Make me to love Thee more, I pray:
Thou art my Saviour, God, my all;
Come dwell in me, and fill my soul,
Teach me to live 'neath Thy control.
