“The Lord will give grace and glory” (Ps. lxxxiv. 11).
The Lord will give grace and glory. This word _glory_ is very difficult to
translate, define and explain; but there is something in the spiritual
consciousness of the quickened Christian that interprets it. It is the
overflow of grace; it is the wine of life; it is the foretaste of heaven;
it is a flash from the Throne and an inspiration from the heart of God
which we may have and in which we may live. “The glory which Thou hast
given Me I have given them,” the Master prayed for us. Let us take it and
live in it. David used to say, “Wake up my glory.” Ask God to wake up your
glory and enable you to mount up with wings as eagles, to dwell on high
and sit with Christ in the heavenly places.
Mounting up with wings as eagles,
Waiting on the Lord we rise,
Strength exchanging, life renewing,
How our spirit heavenward flies.
Then our springing feet returning,
Tread the pathway of the saint,
We shall run and not be weary,
We shall walk and never faint.
