Towards the end of Matthew 15, Jesus had healed so many people on a mountain by the Sea of Galilee that the people "glorified the God of Israel." (Matthew 15:31)
At his very touch, the blind could see and the crippled could walk, yet Jesus managed to do these things in a manner that brought glory to God, not unto himself. And Jesus just didn't stop ministering to the crowd after the people were healed and began praising God. He fed them. He continued to meet their needs, because that's just how he loved.
Now, unless I experience some serious gift shift, I won't be healing the blind or multiplying fish anytime soon. Chances are, you won't be either.
But what can we do to glorify the God of Israel?
How can we do it in a way that directs all the glory away from us and unto Him?
I needed reminded today to live intentionally.
And so did you.
Every step we take is an important one.
