One time I asked my roommate if God had been glorified by him today? He said I don’t know then he asked me the questions “did you glorify God today?” I said I think so, but then I began to really ponder that question. Was God really glorified by me today??
The answer came quickly. Yes. God is glorified by my whole life. He is glorified when I am sad and when I am happy He is glorified when I do good work and when I do bad work; He is glorified when I struggle and when I don’t; He is glorified when I eat and when I don’t eat. He is glorified when I sleep as well as when I am awake. God is even glorified when I sin and when I don’t sin. In all things God is glorified.
Why is that?
It is because I am His, and He is mine. It is because He chose me even while I was still a sinner and because every day God is with me shaping me into the glorious image of His son. He is glorified because a holy God who can have nothing to do with sin, instead of calling down fire from heaven to consume me, He has come and made a living inside of me. He is glorified because through His power and strength this sinful, timid, hateful man will be transformed into a bold, soul winning, lover of God; if that is not glorious, than I do not know what is.
So now I ask the question to you.
Did you glorify God today?
