“So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” (1 Corinthians 10:31 ESV)
To glorify God is to mirror His image, which is to love, and to love generously as He does. No one can glorify God as perfectly as Christ could, and His life is a model for us to follow.
We can glorify God in our daily life. Let us:
● Glorify God when we wake up The first thing to do when we wake up is to talk to God. Prayer is the best way to start the day as it sets the tone for glorifying God the rest of the day.
● Give thanks at mealtime One way to share God’s love and to glorify God in everyday life is to thank Him before meals. A simple prayer of thanksgiving for His providence and provision is also a form of witnessing to non-believers.
● Glorify God in daily activities Giving God top priority in our daily schedule helps us to set our day on the right path. God’s work must be done first before any other tasks.
Daily interaction with others through words and actions are ways to glorify God. Others must see Christ’s love in believers.
● Glorify God before bedtime The best way to relax and unwind at the end of the day is to spend time with God. Open the Bible and let Him comfort and sustain us as we reflect on the day and prepare for a new day.
“We love because He first loved us.” (1 John 4:19 ESV)
