When our focus is on God as He truly is, it puts everything in perspective. God will not give or share His glory with anyone or anything, ever. The glimpse we are given of God on His throne in heaven - where He is the center of attention – sharpens our focus.
He sits enthroned as the sovereign over everyone, and everything that goes on, on the earth and in heaven. Every event that takes place is under His control down to the smallest detail.
