THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME

Scripture: Romans 11:36


The Glory Due His Name
Stephen Whitney
Romans 11:36


David loved the Lord and when he made Jerusalem the capital, he wanted to move the ark of the covenant into the city so he pitched a tent for it. In I Chronicles 15:28 He brought the ark into the city ''with shouting, to the sound of the horn, trumpets, and cymbals and made loud music on harps and lyres (small harps).''

David expressed their praise when he wrote in Psalm 24:7-8
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

The actions that flow from his character are glorious.''

There is one verse that states this truth very clearly. This verse is

Romans 11:36 From him (God) and through him and to him
are all things. To him be the glory forever. Amen.
