We are told that whatever we do, we are to do for the glory of God, 1Cor 10:31. We are also told in Isaiah that God will not give His glory to another, Isaiah 42:8. Therefore since it is something that God expects from us, it is therefore important to know what are some of the ways that we glorify God.
1. Giving Thanks.
We read in Luke 17:12-19, the story of the ten lepers. All were healed but only one came back to give thanks, verse 16, Jesus calls this act as glorifying God. Therefore, we conclude that one way of glorifying God is by giving Him thanks for what He does in our lives. Since we should not touch the glory of God, it is therefore important that we rob God of His glory whenever we fail to give Him thanks and whenever we complain or murmur about anything.
Psalm 50:23a tells us that whoever offers thanksgiving as a sacrifice glorifies God. It cannot be more clear than that.
2Cor 4:15b, says that there will be great thanksgiving and God will receive more and more glory. Let us therefore learn to give thanks to God always, in all things.
2. Finishing the work that God has planned for us.
Jesus said in John 17:4 that He brought glory to God here on earth by completing the work that God had given Him to do. If this is the way that Jesus glorified the Father while on earth, do you suppose there is another way for us? Definitely not. If we are to glorify God here on earth, we have to accomplish the purpose to which God brought us here on earth to fulfill.
Ephesians 2:10 tells us that there are good works that God prepared for us before the foundation of the earth which we are to do. If God took the trouble to prepare a work for us to do for him, and we fail to take the trouble to find out what He prepared, we will disappoint God. Let us seek to find out what He wants us to do in our generation.
Psalm 139:16 tells us that God recorded every day of our life. If we live not interested in finding out what our Maker took trouble to write in a book for our lives, how do you suppose we can glorify Him? It’s impossible.
Living a life where we are not interested in finding out and fulfilling Gods will for our lives is robbing Him of His glory.
Let us repent and live in a way that will glorify God. Let’s stop complaining and start giving thanks and seeking the will of God in everything and doing it.
