Scripture
Galatians 1: 23-24 “All they knew was that people were saying, The ones who used to persecute us now preaches the very faith he tried to destroy! And they gave glory to God because of me.”
Observation
That should be the highest goal of my life. Paul said “they gave glory to God because of me.” I want my life to give glory to God. I want others to glorify God because of me. I do not want to bring shame on the cross of Christ. I do not want to cause others pain because of my moral failures. I want to bring God glory. I want to lead others to Jesus. I want my life to be an example, not a hindrance.
Application
To give glory to God I have to live a life that brings God glory. I cannot live in sin and disobedience. My light must shine before others. How can I bring glory to God?
1) The good deeds I do
2) The blameless life I live
3) Serving others
4) Live other-centered
5) Put God first in everything.
Prayer
I desire to live a life that brings you glory. I desire to live a life before others; so that they give you glory. I do not want to bring shame on you. I want to represent you well. Fill me with your Holy Spirit today. Give me the power to live a God-pleasing life.
