"NOT UNTO US."

"Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But unto Thy name give glory, For Thy mercy, and for Thy truth's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God?"

Thus opens the glorious one hundred fifteenth psalm, contrasting the true God with all false ones. When men take glory unto themselves, they are in that very place where the heathen will say, "Where is now their God?" Man worships that which he glorifies.

But he who glorifies self, has no god worthy of the name. He is man, whatever his profession, and the heathen know him only as man.

There is but one way by which to be saved from the reproach of the heathen, and that is to give all glory to God, counting self

without Him as nothing. He can then boast in the Lord, who made the heavens and the earth. All the good we can do is of God. Give to Him all the glory.
