As we view the vast creation,
Planned with wondrous skill,
So our hearts would move to worship,
And be still.

But, our God, how great Thy yearning
To have sons who love
In the Son e’en now to praise Thee,
Love to prove!

’Twas Thy thought in revelation,
To present to men
Secrets of Thine own affections,
Theirs to win.

So in Christ, through His redemption
(Vanquished evil powers!)
Thou hast brought, in new creation,
Worshippers!

3. Glorifying Their Father Who Is in the Heavens
Eventually our shining will give glory to the Father. “Thus let your light shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens” (Matt. 5:16). The title “your Father” indicates that the Lord Jesus is speaking to those who are regenerated children of God (John 1:12; Gal. 4:6). The good works here are the behavior of the kingdom people through which others may see God and be brought to Him.
Our shining will glorify the Father because it expresses what God is. To glorify God the Father is to give Him the glory. Glory is God expressed. When the kingdom people express God in their behavior and good works, men see God and give glory to God. God hidden is God Himself. But when God is expressed, that is the glory of God. If as the kingdom people we have such a shining light, God will be expressed in this shining, and all those around us will see the glory, God expressed. When others see God in our shining, that is the glory of God.

For eons God the Father was yearning to have an expression in many sons. Praise Him that in the fullness of the time He sent his only begotten Son to make the way for us sinners to become His many sons, His expression! Glory!
