Today's readings are Psalm 32.1-7, 1 Kings 7.51-8.21, and 2 Corinthians 3.1-18.
In today's readings we see God's glory filling the place where he is. We Christians are partakers of God's glory. The fullness of God dwells in Christ. The Holy Spirit has made us a temple consecrated to his service. Can we see the works of God written in our lives?
Some Christians are all about the works of believers as they follow the Lord in faithful obedience. Some are all about Christ's righteousness and deny that we would look for a changed life. Paul says that we should expect Christians to live differently from the rest of the world. After all, our values have been changed so our behavior will also change. Let us be slow, though, to assume our behavior is a reliable guide. Let us rather make much of our Lord and expect the Holy Spirit to fill us with his tremendous glory.
