Let us give God all the glory. He is the Almighty, the Creator of the universe, the Owner of our lives. God owns all power. He is above all things. He is the GOD who is above all other gods. He is the God of the Israelites. He is the God above all. All other gods bow to Him. Dagon, the god of the Philistines fell down flat with face down before the ark of covenant which carried the presence of God. Dagon worshippers eventually gave glory to God. The worshippers of Baal were disappointed when their god failed to bring down fire. Elijah, the prophet of God called upon Him and God answered with fire from heaven. God is superior to the gods of the Egyptians. The God of Israel is far above the gods of the Babylonians. . God is above all things. He is above every situation. He is above all problems. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Jesus says "Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger". God is awesome. He is glorious. He is the Greatest. There is none like Him. Let us surrender all to Him. Let us give Him all the glory. It shall be well with us and our lives will be beautified by His glory.

1 And the Philistines took the ark of God, and brought it from Ebenezer unto Ashdod.
2 When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3 And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4 And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the Lord; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5 Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
6 But the hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7 And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
3 And they said, If ye send away the ark of the God of Israel, send it not empty; but in any wise return him a trespass offering: then ye shall be healed, and it shall be known to you why his hand is not removed from you.
4 Then said they, What shall be the trespass offering which we shall return to him? They answered, Five golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to the number of the lords of the Philistines: for one plague was on you all, and on your lords.
5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your emerods, and images of your mice that mar the land; and ye shall give glory unto the God of Israel: peradventure he will lighten his hand from off you, and from off your gods, and from off your land.

Genesis 1:1-5

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good:
and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

God is good! God is awesome! Glory be to God!

Of all the amazing attributes of God, His goodness -- His lovingkindness, His providence, His mercifulness--in a most profound way, endears the heart of man and resounds to him the beautiful nature of the Almighty.

What does "good" mean? According to the dictionary "good" means "having desirable qualities". In philosophy, the "good" is what gives truth to the things known and the power of knowing to the knower. Consequently, the concept of "highest good" has been ascribed to God. This means, only God, the supreme being, has the perfection of goodness. The goodness of God is universally acclaimed. All tribes, from ages past, have always declared the goodness of the Creator when they see the beauty and perfection of the working of nature--the daily rise and fall of the sun, the outpouring of rain, the majestic view of the mountains and lush vegetation of the valleys. They have concluded that the Creator behind nature and all things must be awesome! Yes, God is awesome! God is good! God is amazing! God is wonderful! God is excellent!

The Bible tells us that God is good is so many verses. In fact, the Bible describes the nature of God in vivid and impressive ways. God is loving and kind. His love for us is unfailing. He is omnipotent--all power belongs to Him. He is Omnipresent--He is everywhere at all times. He is Omniscient--He knows all things. He is eternal--He is beyond time, that is, God exists forever and ever without end. He is all-powerful, all-present and all-knowing. He is infinite--there is no limit to His greatness. How amazing to have an all-powerful, all-present and all-knowing God who is good! Yes, this means our Creator, who is in absolute control of the universe is ever loving, good and kind to us all. We are His children. He has never failed in providing our daily needs. He has been our help in the past. He is our assurance for the present. And He has secured our future.

Our God is good. Let us put God first. Let us surrender all to Him. Let us place Him above all things. He knows all our needs. He is indeed good. He will make all things perfect and we will enjoy a beautiful life. Again and again, God is good! God is good!! God is good!!!

God is good. Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, the Son of God, says "Only God is good". We see this in Mark 10:18 when Jesus responded to someone who called him "Good Master". Jesus responded "And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God."

David, the psalmist, writes in Psalm 34:8 "O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him"

We see that God is good in other notable verses of the Bible:

The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. Psalm 145: 9

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 1 Chronicles 16: 34

And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth Exodus 34:6

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him. Nahum 1:7

Psalm 62:1 Esv

Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,

Everyday when you wake up and anytime you can, say "Thank You LORD". Praise Him. Thank Him. Worship Him. Just be grateful to God for all He has done, all He is doing, and all He will do. And guess what? He will bless you more.

Remember the story of Jesus and the ten lepers. Ten were healed but only one came back to show gratitude to God. This one got wholesomeness while others got only healing. Wholesomeness of health is better than just healing from a particular disease.

Luke 17:17-19 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.
And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Glory be to God

It's 2026. Happy new year to us all. Let us remember to give God all the glory and put Him first.

God is my Strength and Power, and He maketh my way perfect.
2 Samuel 22:33

Merry Christmas to us all.

This is a beautiful day. This is a lovely season.

God is good all the time.

About 2025 years ago, Christ the Son of the Living God was born in Bethlehem. Joy comes to the world. Salvation comes to mankind. The birth of JESUS signifies the love of God the Father to us all.

This is a day of joy, a day of love, a day to reconcile with God, a day to come to JESUS, and a day to enjoy the awesome glory of God.


Luke 1:26-33 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Luke 2:8-14 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

[b] 1 Samuel 17:45-52 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands.
And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron.

John 14: 26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

How beautiful it is to have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, whom Jesus promise in the above verse. He, the Holy Spirit, will teach us and lead us in the awesome ways of God. Our lives will be beautiful. Yes, we will see the perfection and beauty of the Glory of God.
