We sing, say, pronounce “to God be The Glory, Amen.”
What do we mean? What are we saying?
Yes! To God be The Glory, now and forever, when ‘time’ ceases, He never changes, He is God of ALL! Amen
You were Created, I was Created, we look abroad and all were/was/is created by Him, our Lord and our God! Glory Hallelujah!!! Our God reigns!
God made the day and night, the Sun, Moon and Stars…to us that is “Time”, to the Creator of ‘time’ there is no time. In The Word it is accurate in quoting that a ‘day’ for our Father in Heaven is as a thousand years. A gross estimation, for God Who made ‘time’ there is no time.
We live to decide and to sow seed for harvest. This is a short period in our existence, a micron in our world of existence. We can explain it re: The transfiguration Matthew 17:3. To know who Moses or Elijah was, there were amazing artists over time. Moses in his latter days more likely than not was not drawn nor painted, it says nothing about age. They were seen and addressed with fear and trembling of the disciples with Jesus on the mount.
We exist for always. Our spirit matures, our bodies grow old. The wisdom of a centenegerian is much different from the ‘smarts’ of youth. Our spirit matures with knowledge of The Lord, Amen.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen”
2 Peter 3:18
I will share a few verses that speak of growing in knowledge of The LORD. Samuel grew in knowledge and Fellowship with The LORD, and we read more:

Where and why are we growing? Our existence here is a by-way in existence for experience. We have choices, where, when, how? These were given to us, we who are made in God’s image. As shared, we are in a position a little less than angels Psalm 8:5.
As chosen by God, we in His image are not to worship them:
“While he was saying this to me, I bowed with my face toward the ground and was speechless. Then one who looked like a man touched my lips, and I opened my mouth and began to speak. I said to the one standing before me, “I am overcome with anguish because of the vision, my lord, and I feel very weak. How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.”
Again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength. “Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.”
When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”
Daniel 10:15-18
“At this John fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”
Revelation 19:10
We worship God and God alone!
Here, let us take a look at the 10 commandments. These are Universal laws!
And they start off with our service, gratitude and obeisance to our Creator.
Review them, we will talk them through later.

Be in peace as you place all your needs at God’s feet with Love, expectation and joy. We have a Place to go for all our needs and wants, Amen.
I will enter His gates with Thanksgiving in my heart, I will enter His courts with praise. I will say this is the day that The LORD has made. I will rejoice for He has made me glad, Amen
It is my prayer that the songs we sing stand as guides, support and can extension of The Word. The same way individuals were led to write God’s story, there are those led to write, play and sing to His glory, Amen
