More thoughts on the Glory of God

Psa 106:20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.


Rom 1:22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

A more intense horror can not be imagined. Mankind has bartered with the devil - the infinite, awesome, glory of YHWH for the finite, filthy idols of this world.

I am not sure how to comprehend this. How is He able to have mercy on any of us? Such a crime is most incriminating. Esau's selling of his birthright is nothing compared to our selling of the glory of YHWH for the pleasures of this world.

Thanks be to Christ for redeeming us from our own hellish bargains and returning to us the promise of gazing upon the glory of YHWH.
