God is looking for a people that He can reveal Himself in and through.  How will He do it…through greater manifestations of His glory.  You see, the glory of God is His nature on full display.  It is His love, His wisdom, His creativity, His anointing, His power, and His wealth…the sum total of all that He is.  All of His creation was designed to manifest His glory.  He declared in Isaiah 40:5 that His glory would be revealed and that all flesh would see it together.  The heavens declare it (Psalm 19:1); Jesus was the brightness and expressed image of it (Hebrews 1:3); and we are being changed into the very same imageof it through the Holy Spirit from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). However, you cannot manifest the fullness of God's glory without a relationship with the Holy Spirit.

God wants us to live in a place of undisturbed rest and peace no matter what the situations and circumstances around us may be, and this place can only be found in God Himself. He has promised us that He would never leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5), and that He would not allow us to go through any more than we can bear (1 Corinthians 10:13). He has promised to keep us in perfect peace as we continue to keep our minds stayed on Him and trust in Him (Isaiah 26:3). Furthermore, He has promised to give us peace beyond all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Therefore we must maintain the attitude that anything we're going through is only for a season and that God is with us, and will see us through it.
