Illustration:
Sobieski, King of Poland in the late 17th century, is best remembered as the man who saved central Europe from invading armies of Turks in 1683.
With the Turks at the walls of Vienna, Sobieski led a charge that broke the seige.
His rescue of Vienna is considered one of the decisive battles in European history.
In announcing his great victory the king paraphrased the famous words of Caesar by saying simply, “I came; I saw; God conquered.”

Application: Does Christ get honor from your life?
Even while you struggle does glory go to Christ?
Live a life that says “To God be the Glory”
Andre Crouch said it this way:
How can I say thanks
for the things you’ve done for me
Things so undeserved
Yet you gave to prove your love to me
The voices of a million angels
Could not express my gratitude
All that I am and ever hope to be
I owe it all to Thee
(Chorus)
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For the things He has done
With His blood, He has saved me
With His power, He has raised me.
To God be the glory
For the things he has done
(Bridge)
Just let me live my life
And let it be pleasing, Lord to Thee
And should I gain any praise,
Let it go to Calvary.
With His blood, He has saved me
With His power, He has raised me.
To God be the glory
For the things he has done.
