Day #7: The Reason For Everything

I'm a bit dizzy today and I've just done read chapter seven because I didn't have time today; went to life group, cooking, changing my time flight and everything. So. What is the reason for everything. Or who is the reason for everything?

Jesus.

He's the reason. Why? Because everything that we do in life, we should do it for the glory of God. It said in the bible: "I brought glory to You here on earth by doing everything You told me to do." Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.

As summarized in the chapter, there are five ways to bring glory to God, namely: worshiping Him, loving other believers, becoming like Christ, serving others with our gifts and telling others about Him.

You might think, why would I have to bring glory to Him? Why do I have to do things to glorify His name? Well, for one thing, God is glorious! All of his creations are glorious, including us, so it is only natural for us to do things for His glory. Also, if you love God, believe in Him with all your heart, you would want to please Him. Ways to please Him? Have a great faith and do His will. And through all of these, His name will be glorified even more.

Take a look at the world around you and start to notice of God's glory. It's everywhere. Enjoy it. Embrace it. Use it. Be glorified in Him, in His glory.
