Making Much of Jesus! by John Thweatt



ND Wilson said, “God is a God of galaxies, of storms, of roaring seas and boiling thunder, but He is also the God of bread baking, of a child’s smile, of dust motes in the sun. He is who He is, and always shall be. Look around you now. He is speaking always and everywhere. His personality can be seen and known and leaned upon. The sun is belching flares while mountains scrape our sky while ants are milking aphids on their colonial leaves and dolphins are laughing in the surf and wheat is rippling and wind is whipping and a boy is looking into the eyes of a girl and morals are dying.” (Death by Living)

Every single day a choir of birds cheer the creation’s effort to make much of Him! From the ant to the elephant, the sparrow to the eagle, the minnow to the whale—they all make much of Him because they were created for His glory.

I love GK Chesterton’s quote,

Children…always say, Do it again; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough… It is possible that God says every morning, Do it again, to the sun; and every evening, Do it again, to the moon…  It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we. 

Do we have the sense to join His creation today in making much of our Creator? Do we have the sense to hear the song bird and remember to sing praises to Him? Do we have the sense to see the beauty of this grand ball spinning through space at a little over 67,000 miles per hour and groan with it for our redemption? Do we have the sense to life today in expectation of His coming and if He chooses to give us another day on this earth will we have the sense to spend every moment for His glory.

Of all that He has created—we should lead the way in making much of Him! We were created in His image. Let’s make much of Jesus today!
