How High Is Your Esteem of God?


When we believe that we ought to be satisfied, rather than God glorified, we set God below ourselves, imagine that He should submit His own honor to our advantage; we make ourselves more glorious than God, as though we were not made for Him, but He made for us; this is to have a very low esteem of the majesty of God.

--Stephen Charnock
(1628-1680)

    Great quote Gregg! Remind me that the glory of God is man fully alive and man fully alive is man glorifying God.
