The Reason for Everything

As mentioned earlier, I'm reading "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren (I'll reference it as TPDL). Last night I read the 7th chapter/ 7th day. And it spoke about GLORY. Of course, I was like ding ding, that's what this blog was built on, for the very purpose of glorifying God. Well the chapter itself was very interesting, so I thought I'd share some things.

Ques: How can I bring glory to God?

Ans:
1. By worshiping him

"Worship is a lifestyle of enjoying God, loving him, and giving ourselves to be used for his purposes. When you use your life for God's glory, everything you do can become an act of worship."- (TPDL)

2. By loving other believers

"Accept each other just as Christ has accepted you; then God will be glorified." - Romans 15:7

3. By becoming like Christ

"Spiritual maturity is becoming like Jesus in the way we think, feel, and act." - (TPDL)

4. By serving others with our gifts

"God has given gifts to each of you from his great variety of spiritual gifts...Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then God will be given glory." - 1 Peter 4:10-11

5. By telling others about him

Main Point:

"Living the rest of your life for the glory of God will require a CHANGE in your priorities, your schedule, your relationships, and everything else." - (TPDL)

All in all, I feel like this calls for a re-evaluation of my priorities, schedule, etc. Yup, I'm gonna need to talk to God in prayer bout this.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite worship songs.

Ciao!
