The Father of glory.

Ephesians 1.17
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him,

Knowing our Heavenly Father God is one of the most important pursuits of our life. The more you know Him, the easier it is to trust Him. When you don't know Him, its difficult to trust Him.

In the above verse, we see that our Father is the Father of glory. The word Father means source and sustainer. He is the source of all glory. He is the Father of excellence, magnificence, splendour, preeminence, dignity and grace. All of these originate from Him. He is the possessor of true, genuine and pure glory. Everything about the Father is glorious and excellent. Jesus was the glory of God in action. The life of Jesus was glorious. Jesus knew the Father of glory intimately and therefore his life was full of glory. He manifested the glory of the Father in his own life and also everywhere He went. John says Jesus turned water into wine and manifested his glory. The Father had given him glory and Jesus said, the glory that the Father gave him, He has given to us. Thats staggering. Hallelujah. We have the glory of the Almighty God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Infact the new covenant says, we are the very glory of God. Glorious truth.

Friend, seek to please the Father of glory. From him comes all glory. Once we understand this, we will seek the glory that only comes from the Father. We will talk for His glory. We will live for His glory. Once you make pleasing Him in everything and seeking his glory your objective then you will see the manifestation of Gods glory. He not only gives you glory but also keeps you in glory for He is the Source and Sustainer of glory. Glory to God.
