I read a quote once that said, “Each of our actions holds weight in God’s eyes and we should honor Him with what we do.”
Glorifying God in everything we do actually comes from scripture. 1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.”
Paul goes on to remind the Corinthian church to consider the consequences of others who may feel differently about eating or drinking anything sacrificed to idols or anything that will cause us to sin.
One of my favorite verses is in 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 where Paul says, “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful, all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. Let no one see his own, but each one the other’s well-being.”
I think Paul wants us to understand that glorifying God doesn’t just happen in the church, or on any certain day. Glorifying God can occur in every circumstance. Glorifying God means honoring Him with our actions that are good, and obedient.
When we fall into sin and temptation, we don’t glorify God as we should. Each one of the actions we do holds weight in God’s eyes and we should honor God in what we do.
Glorifying God is more than just doing the right things. But, don’t get overly moralistic, because then we are tempted to seek out our own glory.
