Soli Deo gloria

"To God alone be the glory'

Resting on my piano is a book of sheet music of J.S. Bach open to some Minuets that I have been learning, playing, and memorizing. In the 16th century, J.S. Bach affixed the initials SDG (Soli Deo gloria) at the bottom of all his manuscripts as a reminder of this idea that it is God alone who should receive glory for all the wonders of creation.

I wonder how each of us can affix a reminder in our daily life that God and God alone is to receive all the glory. When we start to think that any talent or gift we have is possible by our own good nature, we walk a perilous path. Our gifts are only possible because God planted that seed in you so it can be used....
For His glory.

Soli Deo gloria.
