glorification

In the Scripture the idea of glorification deals with the ultimate perfection of believers;

glorification brings participation in the kingdom of God;

in some sense a partaking of God's own glory.

do you ever think about how one day we will realize that all the things we worry about are absolutely silly and minute in light of what God has done and is going to do? i just saw a snippet of something about this universe and realized, wow, God made that. it reminded me of my high school biology classes that i actually really enjoyed because i was amazed by all the different ecosystems and animals that are on this earth that live and breathe in there in special ways and feed off of one another and God made that happen. He knows those animals and He knows me and you. why do i worry?

a few verses on glory...

"Let every valley be lifted up,

And every mountain and hill be made low;

And let the rough ground become a plain,

And the rugged terrain a broad valley;

Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed,

And all flesh will see it together;

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken." - Isaiah 40:4-5

"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God." - Romans 8:18-19

"but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation." - 1 Peter 4:13
