Human Defiance and God's Glory

I love the way the NLT paraphrases Ps 76.10: Human defiance only enhances your glory, for you use it as a weapon. I'm not sure I agree with the whole paraphrase, but I do think they get the first part correct; human defiance does enhance God's glory, and it appears to be a fair paraphrase of: surely the wrath of man shall praise you (ESV).

How does human defiance enhance God's glory? When God overcomes it; when God demonstrates himself more powerful than human defiance, then his glory is enhanced. We see again and again and again in Scripture and history that indeed, God is always and everywhere more powerful than human defiance. In comparison to God's glory, human defiance is like a single ant attempting to destroy a huge concrete building. It's laughable.

Prayer: O Lord, your glory is enhanced by human defiance. May we not be defiant as followers of you, but may we side with the one who is all-powerful and will win any confrontation with human defiance. May we side always and ever with you.
