God reveals His glory primarily through His active involvement in everything that exists. The brilliance and splendor of God's nature shine forth through His deeds, making His glory evident to all. His works manifest His strength, wealth, wisdom, and power, as well as His honor, majesty, and renown. The radiance of God's glory is so profound that it cannot be extinguished or diminished. It is beyond our ability to fully grasp or perceive that God lacks nothing in His creation and sustenance of all things. The immense weight of God's glory, like a radiant light, prevents us from being completely overwhelmed by His divine emanation. This divine radiance ensures that His strength, riches, knowledge, and might continually prevail over all, securing His honor, glory, and praise forever. Yet, one day, we will behold His splendor face to face and give Him the worship and reverence He rightly deserves. Despite the presence of sin and darkness in the world, God's method of revealing His glory remains unchanged. All creation—whether in the sky, on the earth, or beneath the ground—praises Him, declaring His glory. Why do humanity and the universe continue to strive to portray God's glory as all-encompassing, even when they are influenced by sin and death? Because the curse of sin results in death, God alone holds the authority to determine the final outcome of all creation. His glory will ultimately reach its conclusion; nothing can diminish it permanently. In His sovereignty, God is working through all things to prevent them from thwarting His divine purposes, fulfilling His promise to bring destruction upon evil and to restore what is broken. By cursing the earth, God has set in motion the means to eliminate death and destruction, freeing His creation from their grip and securing His ultimate victory. As we speak of God's majesty and sovereignty, our words overflow with praise because we see His glory reflected in creation and history. Even in a world under Satan's influence, believers are called to declare God's greatness. God has delivered us from the powers of darkness and the wickedness of this world through His justice and judgment. Every reason to exalt God is rooted in His resolve to eradicate all that does not bring Him glory. Because of this divine purpose, we can rejoice in God's freedom to work through evil and suffering to bring about His glory. We trust that, since God has cursed evil, we are no longer bound by its power. Our understanding of God in this universe is free from unfaithful notions that He is opposed or powerless; instead, His voice—unchanging and eternal—speaks victory amid the worst circumstances. In the face of the most severe evils and challenges, God's voice rings out as the voice of ultimate triumph, assuring us of His sovereign victory and unbreakable plan.
