Quotes About Glory

So many bright stars, bright in life, burn out quickly.

This is the artist, then, life's hungry man, the glutton of eternity, beauty's miser, glory's slave.

Future is ours, but victory is mine!

The Light yearns for the peaceful balance of the Darkness as much as Darkness seeks the Glory of the Light.

Awake my soul, the glory of the Lord is upon me.

An old, and haughty nation proud in arms.

Hail, holy light! offspring of heav'n firstborn.

Th' imperial ensign, which, full high advanc'd,Shone like a meteor, streaming to the wind.

And the gilded car of day,His glowing axle doth allayIn the steep Atlantic stream.

These are thy glorious works, Parent of good.

My race of glory run, and race of shame,And I shall shortly be with them at rest.

The wisdom that is from above, is not only pure, but also peaceable and gentle; and the lack of these qualifications, like the dead fly in the jar of ointment, will spoil the fragrance and efficacy of our labors. If we act in a wrong spirit—we shall bring little glory to God; do little good to our fellow creatures; and procure neither honor nor comfort to ourselves! If you can be content with showing your wit, and gaining the laugh on your side—you have an easy task!

May the cheering contemplation of the glorious hope set before us—support and animate us to improve our short interval on earth, and fill us with a holy ambition of shining as lights in this evil world, to the praise and glory of His grace—who has called us out of darkness, into His glorious light!

Savior, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am; Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure, None but Zion's children know.

Another lawful use of the law is, to consult it as a rule and pattern by which to regulate our spirit and conversation. The grace of God, received by faith, will dispose us to obedience in general, but through remaining darkness and ignorance we are much at a loss as to particulars. We are therefore sent to the law, that we may learn how to walk worthy of God, who has called us to his kingdom and glory; and every precept has its proper place and use.

We shall see that what we once mistakenly called afflictions and misfortune were in reality blessings without which we would not have grown in faith. Nothing happened to us without a reason. No problem came upon us sooner, pressed on us more heavily, or continued longer than our situation required. God, in divine grace and wisdom, used our many afflictions, each as needed, that we might ultimately possess an exceeding and eternal weight of glory, prepared by the Lord for His people.

If we go to church or share our faith or read our Bibles or serve the poor out of a sense of mere duty or in order to achieve our own righteousness, then we lose the satisfaction God intended for us to experience when we willingly offer ourselves to His Glory. This is a tragedy of tremendous proportion and steals from the joy of our salvation.

My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

On Christ's glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.

No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.

My joy grows with every soul that seeks the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Remember, you have one life. That's all. You were made for God. Don't waste it.

Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.

He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror. (on CS Lewis)
