Be glorious to me

I've been dumbfounded many times throughout my life by how involved and concerned God is with what seems like the smallest details in my life. It's like He's always creating a chance for Himself to show off...and He is. He is showing off to me so that He can be showed off through me.

I heard a question posed on a radio program not too long back that has stuck with me. "How can we share and show how glorious God is to others, when He isn't glorious to us? Ask God to be glorious to you so He can be glorious through you." I had never really ever thought to ask God to be glorious to me.

I started praying that He would be glorious to me. Of course I start looking for the neon signs and the "red sea partings" to show me His glory, failing to see the "small" things or things I take for granted daily that show off His glory just as much. I've begun to see His glory in the food He puts on my table, the air He uses to fill my lungs, doing the laundry, cleaning out the refrigerator...etc.

Is there any place or time that His beauty and glory cannot be revealed to me? How different would my heart and attitude be if I realized I can find it even in cleaning out my fridge and in making a huge mess on the floor just after cleaning it? There would be a holy difference that's for sure and I for one could use more of the wholeness that brings to every aspect of my life. You would see a whole lot more of Him and whole lot less of me.
