I'll tell you about the King is coming wonderful resources online in tewonline.org Bible whose morning turn with me to the small lake." June right before the final book of the New Testament book of Revelation find a very short 25 verse later later to and I want you to turn, lay with me this morning. God has blessed each one of us and he's blessed us in so many different ways. He's blessed us as individuals find God for the United States is based us as a nation blessed us as a people. He's blessed us in our lives.

God's grace, you realize that in a sense, even those who need the most in the United States are in many ways far more blessed than many other people around the world even the most needy and I know that that ceramic but God has blessed us as God blessed you.

I want you to just listen for sick data off very very important question.

If God has blessed you and if God has placed me.

Are we giving God old glory.

Are you glorifying God because of your blessings. Your position to draw family circumstances.

I know this sounds a little strange, but you know the Lord tells us to glorify him. Even when we not in the dumps. God tells us to call his name blessed in everything to give thanks God has blessed us in our church. God is blessing us in so many different ways. We just see an outpouring of the blessings of God that I want to show you something. This morning Dana read to you from June administrative full Judah.

In verse 24.I know I've told you to look that I want you to look back at the goalie reading what we going to read is a doxology we will assign the doxology praise God from whom all blessings flow. When you gone begin to study what God has to say about doxologies.

God is trying to tell us very something very significant doxology comes from the root word side, the excited Tron slid right from the Greek text, and it means to glorify and in this context what God's word is telling us is that a doxology doxology eyes means that we are confirming as a quitter already upon the King of Kings and Lord of lords. After his day, a doxology is the placement of honor in thanksgiving and gratitude to the mighty God that he has done for a doxology is the ultimate statement of praise when all is said and done, there is a sense in which a tombstone is a doxology all of us are going to die someday and there is a sensing which on every style of every one of our lives to be written in a doxology which will be a some losses that we have done and in so doing we are placing glory upon the one who is deceased. We are conferring on the on the one well let's look at this doxology here in June 24 Bible says to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy to the only God our Savior be glory and majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Before the ages now and forevermore a man I want to speak this morning from God's word on glorifying God. What is the significance of this doxology as we apply to our own lives. It's significant number one because it focuses on the right person. Now folks listen we make heroes out of people days there's nothing wrong with that per se we make heroes out of politicians.

We would make heroes.

I know you want to believe this but some people make heroes out of creatures you can turn on your television set. Folks there some TV shows that are just TV shows with the preacher doing a performance update and literally thousands of people going berserk and they worshiping a preacher all day worshiping a show program or an entertainment and we are a people who worship and glorify people and objects. God says we need to price our focus on the right person, Jesus Christ. What is this doxology new to him. What is God trying to tell us when we read this doxology to him what is it say about this right person it gives to him glory and majesty, power and authority what God is saying to us, God is saying let it be said once and for thou shalt have no other gods before me.

That's what it doxologies it is conferring ultimate glory on the right person, biologists, and would you just watch me for a minute as God blessed you are you giving glory to God is your focus on the right person doxology, but I want you to notice something else about this is not only focuses on the right person, but it speaks of his divine capability look there in verse 24 to him who is able. I love that that would enable their speaks of God's divine capability. They lost question. Be ready for this. Can you name anything to the that God is not able to meet God is capable of doing anything. There is not a single thing that God's capability does not reach to. There's not a single circumstance. I want you to be encouraged by Steve.

There's a song that goes, he is unable he's able he's able he's able to cite Obama singer, but it's about all.

A lot of he is able to know that song cry will not like us. He is unable I love that song. I wish you could get up and sing of right ministry.

But you know what it's all about it's the fact that God's word confirms to us what God teaches us, and that is when we doxology eyes when we focus on the right person. We are speaking of God's divine capability of God doing for us what we cannot do for Sue what is he is capable of doing God is able. As God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or even think that means can't do that yes I can no more. That's just too much know it isn't. That's too far I can do anything God says I am God. In my divine capability extends beyond any kind of human reason to understand not be encouraged that some on the other that you want to give up. Maybe you been going a long time maybe one out today because of God's divine capability, but I want you to note in the third place. It finds his sovereign ability that we dealing with the doxology we talking about glorifying God number one. It focuses on the right person number two.

It speaks of his divine capability, and number three. It defines his sovereign ability not just what God is capable of but one God actually does God just doesn't say you know I'll think about it.

God doesn't. What does he do. The Bible says that God's sovereign ability extends to two major areas. These are major categories. Number one the word you in verse 20 4C is trustable. He prevents us from falling. Will you notice that now folks that were failing. They is very interesting if you want to study up with me for a mama that would bring the literally means when we try to relinquish God's grip on us.

Most of us in life of us in life we belong to the Lord Jesus but do you know that we tried jolly hard to get God Belinda said, Lord, I don't need you around me. I'm self-sufficient.

I can do it on my own. I can paddle my own community I listen, guess what happens as soon as you embark turn away from God. Guess what happens. We begin before now, the way means that we are literally moving away from the upholding hand of God. God says that when you come to grips with who he is the very essence of his sovereign ability is the fact that God prevents us from falling. And what happens when you fall, you hurt yourself for what happened to Clint Tollison on product riding in a golf cart fell out of the golf cart in the golf cart rolled over him.

There is a sense in which God says listen as you're going through life in the golf carts of life. I want you to know because you're a human being you are going to have the tendency to talk and get run over. I am going to uphold you and prevent you from falling or one word of encouragement. God sustains us with this. A second component to his sovereign ability not only prevents us but I want to note in the second place. He presents us. I love this.

This is great boxes.

Watch what happens if he not only prevents us. He holds me, but he turns me around and he presents me to Almighty God and the Bible tells us how he presents. First of all, he presents me to God with full excuse me without fault me as soon someone who's filled with pride and arrogance and selfishness and sinfulness. God meets me in Christ Jesus and I am presented to him without full first Peter writes about if we are redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.

We all washed and redeemed by the out of the Lamb. We are presented to God through Jesus Christ by his death upon the cross and we are presented as blameless and without fault.

But we are presented in verse 24 is something that you not, that means it means that when Jesus presents us to God presents us with no reluctance whatsoever.

You know, folks, we were overseas couple weeks ago. This happens to me time and time again and we are over there somewhere at NRC. One of my favorite chocolates.

God just got to confess to you every night once every six months I will be the tropics on or about that out of the way somewhere overseas and I see one of the chocolates that are grown-up with and I turned to my wife as she grew up in the same place and I say to all I have got to have one about me and I have got to have one. I said let's get one. She looks at me and she says no unresolved. I'm not going to have one of us know it's going to ruin my bike.

I will not touch it. I'm not going to have a sink just have one. I mean we not in just one just have one of the not absolutely not unresolved.

I'm not going to have so I buy myself for I have not have any pride folks and I just go ahead, not by myself and I sit there connecting my savers and I get down to the loss by and you know the lost mind is always the best because the whole team is covered in double chocolate and I've got that and I'm just about to put it in my mouth and my wife says to me are you going on for me anymore. Mark and I say excuse me you didn't want any of this. She said all that, I just want to taste my sibling. This is a very important traced my whole life depends upon this, I have saved this. I've eaten everything on some got to this point. Now you want to buy 21 by you to know I just want to buy the folks you know what happens. Don't you I end up giving her that loss by an understated eternity in my heart and she takes it. I say to myself I hope she chokes on. I don't look at me like that, guys. You will be there for. We play this guy. I say I hope it broke breaks order from TPG you know you giving it but there's a kind of reluctance list just listen for moment not to think that Jesus Christ went to the garden of Gethsemane. He's agony was so intense that he sweated drops of blood. He went through the Kidron Valley. He went up to the house of Caiaphas with a medium to about they placed him in a prison. My friend, that's not like Spartanburg County prison. It was a dungeon. They have to be let go. The psalmist spoke about the agony of the darkness of the dungeon that surrounded Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, they took him out of there. They malign blinding light to the house of Pontius Pilate. They took him and flung them down the Via Dolorosa.

They took him up to the place of the stall and they put them in a public place. One of the major thoroughfares outside the walls of Jerusalem, the place of the skull and egg, beaten to a pulp and they suspect any space and they more often and soldiers even began to gamble for garments that play around the cross and he gave up the ghost and they took our Savior down and I put a limit to Joseph of Arimathea and he rose gloriously on the third day, think, don't you think that Jesus Christ would have every right to present someone like me to God the father and Satan, God the father, I present to you Don Wilton. He belongs to me on God for him, but God if I could just put this in your ear.

What ever you do don't forget that he's one of them the crucified me yes let him go to heaven.

God, I don't mind that most that's all right with me. He can come to him and he can be helpful eternity he can receive his warmth, but I want to tell you something my father if you just understood what they did to me how they treated me how they abused me play with me that he comes into paradise, but I stopped for me is that at least one God is because they are God says to him who is able to present with and right joy. No reluctance, no misgivings, no second thoughts one doxology. It focuses on the right person speaks of his divine capability defines the sovereign ability. It sickens his eternal existence.

What is it tell us before all ages.

He was there in the park. Now he's here in the present forever.

He's in there before we've even got Chris and finally it seems he's more you notice they drew 24 verse 25 he signs it all by saying a man seems he's eternal nature is an absolute certain you not a man means a man means.
