Crown of Glory


On my daughters birthday this year she walked around most of the day with a crown on her head.  She walked around school and home boastfully with her "crown of glory" until she laid down for sleep.
A crown of glory is a reward of victory or mark of honor  given to a person or particuliar group of people that give God worshipful praise, honor and thanksgiving.  In Proverbs  4:8-10 Exalt her and she shall promote thee: she shall  bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory she shall deliver to thee. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many.  This all pertains to wisdom.  Wisdom is the crown of glory we all should wear.
In 1 Peter 5:3-5  tells us that   Neither as being  lord's over God's heritage, but being examples to his flock.  And when the  chief  Shepard shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth away not. Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.  Yea, all of you be subject one  another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.  We are to be examples to other christians so that our "crown " won't fade away.
