It is crucial that you understand that God created the universe for His pleasure and His glory “Worthy are You, our Lord and God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they exist, and were created and brought into being.”(Revelation 4:11). This includes you. “Everyone who is called by My Name, Whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made.” (Isaiah 43:7).

God did not make the world first and foremost for you and me, but for Himself. Everything is created to bring Him glory, and that means you, too. That is your chief aim—your highest purpose. You are to reflect Him and His ways through your thoughts, choices, and actions in such a way that people look at you and can’t help but give glory to God.

So think about how you can honor and glorify God today and every day through your words and actions.

Pray this – Our Precious Heavenly Father, Your Glory is inherently within You. Whether I give You glory or not, You are Glory. I want to know the sweetness that comes from living a life that glorifies You. So then, whether I eat or drink or whatever I do, I will do all to the glory of our great God. (1 Corinthians 10:31). Make me an instrument of Your praise and let the words that come from my mouth show off the wondrous works that You have done in my heart and life. I proclaim “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And the expanse of heaven is declaring the work of His hands. Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night reveals knowledge… Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my firm, immovable rock and my Redeemer.” (Psalm 19:1-2, 14). In the Name of Jesus, our Great Lord and Savior who will appear one day in glory, I pray, Amen. Maranatha!
